Aug 20, 2013This is a good, not great album by John Mayer. The album is very country and folk driven and doesn't seem to have a purpose. The feature by Frank Ocean is great. The feature by Katy is almost useless with a very cheez-y song( almost like Sonnie and Cher). This isn't classic John, but its worth listening to

Sep 8, 2013The evolution of John Mayer's musical styles are seen in full effect in Paradise Valley, where country/ folk undertones are seen paired with catchy and smooth hooks. Compared to Continuum and Room For Squares, it lacks a certain star quality and is less memorable, but still shows that, in the music scene, John Mayer can do not wrong.

Dec 21, 2018Rejected, but surprising in many ways. Mayer had an abum written to be a beautiful work of art, and not for numbers! It has the sound and purest production of the musical sense. It's not that sticky tune or something that can hold you, it's a different thing and it's totally wonderful sound.

Aug 28, 2020Um dos melhores álbuns dele, particularmente gostei muito da sonora colocada nesse álbum, da voz e da incomparável guitarra do John.

Aug 23, 2013Eleven songs that hit the mark where last year’s overwrought "Born and Raised" mostly missed, Paradise Valley is a more lyrically restrained and less generically reflective affair. And musically, it’s bigger, more accomplished and more approachable.

Aug 21, 2013The level of growth on Paradise Valley with respect to Mayer’s ability as a singer/songwriter is remarkable, especially considering how the first go-round of this sonic experiment happened only last year.

Aug 20, 2013These new songs are so amiable that you wonder where they’re meant to take you. Often the breezy journey--while pleasant enough--leads to dead ends.
