    Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is a sprawling, 17-track epic with few obvious singles--but it is loaded with creativity.
  2. Boston Globe
    80
    The album reminds you that those budding superstars can't beat Carey at her own game.
  3. Slant Magazine
    60
    Mariah is in fine voice throughout the album, and there are plenty of inspired moments to be found....Which makes it all the more disappointing that the album's final stretch devolves into a mess of old-school Mariah rehashes that should have been left in the past.

    MC's latest doesn't disappoint but in fact proves to be a very refreshing R&B experience.

    Another age inappropriate album from a former pop heavyweight.

    She's the living proof that you can be an amazing singer and a terrible artist. Mariah's voice will never save this album for falling into cliche and dumbness.… Expand
