    this album has so many different kind of songs. she’s got sad songs and sassy songs. i love the features on the album too. i think the production on this album is much better on this album than on her first. her vocals are also really great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can see that Camila Cabello improved so much since she released her debut album 'Camila'. One of my favorites songs has to be 'first man' whre she talks about her father and how he showed her what it's to be love and how to love someone else. It was just the perfect finish to an intense world of romance. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I heard the first songs released I was expecting some stuff so much different from ‘CAMILA’ (even thought I won’t like it as I did love the 1st one). But I was completely wrong. Romance got tears in my eyes, euphoria on my heart and Camila just proved me the talented superstar she is. Should’ve Said It is one of my fave songs, it’s catchy, funny and the latin vibes made me think “WHY THE F* I WASN’T THE LEAD SINGLE??”. Bad Kind of Butterflies got me impressed and I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS LOVE!!! THIS SONG AND THE ALBUM DESERVES A GRAMMY. Expand

    Absolutely 0 skips, every little detail on used to this is a 10/10, like the trolley noises in the beginning referenced to san francisco, the clock ticking when she says “it’s gonna take me a minute” and the sound of the drink pouring & glasses clinking at “no i never did like tequila but there’s something bout when i see ya, think i need a drink”

    Romance showcases all of Camila's growth, both lyrically and sonically.
    Used To This is a gem production-wise, Should've Said It an uptempo latin-driven hit and First Man the emotional highlight of the album.

    Como artista, Camila não deixa de me surpreender. Eu amo absolutamente tudo que ela faz pelo simples fato dela ser tão trabalhadora e colocar todo a sua visão sobre aquilo em que ela acredita.

Acho que o maior goal dessaComo artista, Camila não deixa de me surpreender.

Com 'Camila' ela mostrou um lado também pessoal, mas ainda assim com uns pés atrás para que você realmente viesse a se identificar tanto com suas musicas e composições. Acho que o maior goal dessa era e desse álbum é o fato dela conseguir colocar tantos detalhes nas suas musicas que é como se estivéssemos conversando com a nossa melhor amiga de como é gostar daquele garoto, como foi o primeiro encontro e como é se apaixonar pela primeira vez. Ela acabar o álbum como "first man" que é sobre o pai dela foi a melhor forma de acabar o álbum com chave de ouro.
    Acho lindo o seu crescimento e amadurecimento como artista, escritora, produtora e principalmente como pessoa. Espero que todos que escutem esse álbum tenham alguém como referência para tanto se identificar com as musicas como para ter como "modelo" de alguém que deve fazer nosso coração palpitar. Simplesmente perfeito!

    Camila furthered her hole of only have hits with other people on this album. Señorita the only hit is decent but after that the album is lacking any hard hitters on the charts or artistically, showing her weakness as a solo artist. Some songs are nice enough but others drag on and feel bland beyond belief.

Señorita the only hit is decent but after that the album is lacking any hard hitters on the charts or artistically, showing her weakness as a solo artist. Some songs are nice enough but others drag on and feel bland beyond belief. Despite having so many singles already no one seems to care about this album other then her relatively moderately sized fan base. This might be because it’s impossible for camila to score a solo hit because she just isn’t incredible enough. If Señorita hadn’t proceeded this album and the publicity stunt that is “shawnmilla” or whatever this album would be a flop on levels that hadn’t been seen for a star that had previously had such a huge song (Havana). Señorita reeks of a one hit wonder doing everything they can to stay on, and it worked... but how long can it work? This album indicates that not much longer probably. Overall romance is a lackluster, boring and bland pop album that goes no where. And just proves what I’ve thought of Camila for such a long time, she’s a discount pop star. Expand

    I never underestimate her but I'm always positively surprised!!!! I love it!!! She's a great songwriter (and singer duh) and I love it that she's telling us a story about how she first thought about rejecting her lover's feelings for her (and her own) to accepting it and then being in love. Great album.

    A stunning album that captures all the complications of crushing, romance, and breakups. The lyrics feel so personal yet will resonate with many listeners.

    This girl can't sing, point blank period. Senorita sounds better with just shawn, my oh my is a copy of havana which is a copy of same old love. Living Proof is the worst song of the decade.

    Geral: É um album bem esquecível… Não há musicas marcantes como o seu ultimo, que continua sendo o melhor.
    A identidade “latina” foi perdida, que talvez seria o seu diferencial e passou a ser um pop com tentativas de rock. Não há hits além de Señorita, que é de fato a mais radiofonica do album, mas não é a melhor.

    Cabello’s willingness to assist in [the music industry’s embrace of the “Latin” sound] caricature elsewhere distracts from the otherwise interesting Spanish-classical and Santana-esque riffs on Romance.

    Throughout “Romance,” the pop machinery clicks cleverly and efficiently into place around Cabello’s voice. The productions tend to be sparse — spooky electronic sounds, an occasional acoustic or electric guitar, hefty but discreet drums — and even where the choruses ratchet up, Cabello’s voice often stays close and confiding.
