The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame considered "Erotica" as one of the most revolutionary albums of all time, declaring that "...few women artists, before or since "Erotica", have been so outspoken about their fantasies and desires. Madonna made it clear that shame and sexuality are mutually exclusive... In the end, "Erotica" embraced and espoused pleasure, and kept Madonna at the forefront of pop's sexual revolution." "Slant Magazine" listed "Erotica" at number 24 on "The 100 Best Albums of the 1990s", calling it a "dark masterpiece". Miles Raymer of "Entertainment Weekly" said that "in retrospect it's her strongest album — produced at the peak of her power and provocativeness... and helped elevate her from mere pop star to an era-defining icon." Bianca Gracie from Fuse TV channel called "Erotica" "the album that changed the pop music world forever... one of the most controversial and genre-defining albums in pop history."
