"For his first extracurricular outing, Cornwell co-wrote, co-produced and co-performed an album with American drummer (and former Captain Beefheart sideman) Robert Williams. The collaborative compositions on Nosferatu offer substantive lyrics, but the atonal performances sound even more dour than the early Stranglers. Two members of Devo put in guest appearances, and there are some Devo-like effects worked in but, if not for an incongruous cover of Cream's White Room, there wouldn't be any light relief at all. While it's nice that the pair (with some assistance from Ian Underwood) has the instrumental prowess to do it all themselves, Nosferatu requires more from the listener than it deserves (or returns)".
(Ira Robbins, Trouser Press)

"(...) this was a dark, fretful fantasia, preoccupied with altered states of consciousness. As with Burnel's [Euroman Cometh] solo release, Nosferatu successfully distinguished its author from his Strangler persona. With white-knuckle collaboration from Captain Beefheart drummer Robert Williams, plus Devo's Mothersbaugh brothers and Zappa 'straight man' Ian Underwood, its skronk pedigree was profound".
(Keith Cameron, Mojo Magazine)
