    It's an amazing album and way ahead of its time, it's their best album. She is a super star.

    Best album ever. These songs are really the best you can find about Shakira, including the Shakira album. Oh yeah, in its lyrics you can listen to a free woman and more than a woman a diva.

    Totalmente a frente de seu tempo! Shakira mostrou mais uma vez o quao versatil pode ser e entregou um album que se lançado por uma americana, seria extremamente aclamado.

    Contains her most electronic music which was very mainstream for the time yet still manages to be very unique!

    Después de la decadencia del Rock en 2005, fue una movida inteligente por parte de Shak de buscar nuevos sonidos y que mejor que experimentar con el Europop y sonidos Dancehall.
    Un trabajo excelente en todo sentido, no queda duda alguna de que Shakira es una de las artistas más versátiles de la historia.

    An album with great lyrics, sounds and a lot of sensuality, unlike his former musical works and the person gave in his previous music videos. I love this album recommend..!!!

    Men in this town is such a jam! The best track on the album and one of my favorite songs from her. Very dance, pop, and a little freaky but in a good sense.

    I personally think 'She Wolf' is an overall good album, despite of being short and completely different from all the others Shakira recorded so long. I like all the album's tracks, but it seems she dedicated much more time to some songs then to anothers, like 'Mon Amour' and 'Long Time', respectively. However, in the end 'She Wolf' is an average, sadly less rated than it deserved to be, album.

    This is Shakira's best album. It is kind of like all of her other albums summed up into one. The best tracks are "She Wolf", "Mon Amour", and "Men In This Town".

    She shows off her great voice in this must have album for any Shakirs fans. I love the latino fusions. Some of the album does sound the same though. She wolf is ovbiously great but I think that men in this town is the stand-out track.

    Awesome album. It's impossible for me to pick a favourite for 'She Wolf'. The electronic sound is new, but I love it all the same. One of the best albums I've heard in a long time.

    Shakira has always been adventurous with her music. She always tries to be as eclectic as possible: adding one more style here, one more influence there, until the final work comes out â

    This album is so original and real, it derserves 10! On She Wolf, Shakira doesn't think too much, she just goes for the gut, and seems to make a joke out of the whole thing, she realises it isn't about making yourself look cool, just matter! And that Shakira does, she matters.

    Shakira is great female, "She Wolf" is the best album that I ear in so much time... Every song, every word in her songs is a new world. Really Shakira is cool, and someday believe the future Pop's Queen. I like Shakira. So good... +10.

    This album is so good! I can't believe she dared to write such daring songs! The album is very coherent, but also, each song is about something different, and has a different approach in both tempo and mind-set. Truly this is one ofthe 20 best pop albums of 2009, or actually, since 2007 probably! The music, and Shakira's voice, is not for everybody, which fits me great, then I, This album is so good!

And being the 4th richest woman in music, only after Madonna, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion, she probably won't stop making music, just because haters hate her more than ever. Bravo, Shakira!… Expand

    Excellent, every track is a gem. It got rave reviews from most, the best of which for some reason do not appear on metacritic (even though her score is really high). Highlights: Loba/She Wolf, Did it Again, Men in this Town, Gypsy, Mon Amour, Spy, Long Time, Why Wait, Give it Up to Me... damn..I just listed every single song. It's that good.

    Although surprising slick, "She Wolf" misses the Latin intensity that makes Shakira a great artist. Instead, we are we're offered techno inspired beats as the Colombian-born artist's backdrop. It often works to surprisingly freshness, but when it doesn't it just seems to clout Shakira's style and make her seem like a very confused artist.

    Amazing album. It's not her best, and it is different from her previous works, but it's still catchy and fun.

    Shakira is definitely evolving, but not in a bad or better way. Her essence remains in this new collection of Shakira classics. Each single track on this album is unique and different from anything she had done before. From "Men In This Town" to the heart-pumping "Why Wait" this album promises to be true delight from start to finish.

    Shakira arrives after a 4 year absence to showcase her musical genius undertaking the Electro-pop genre. She completely uses this genre to create a great dance album and catchy tunes which will remain in her permanent catalog of hits.

    These are very much Shakira songs, not merely songs produced by The Neptunes.

    The music's Pharrell Williams-assisted dancefloor pop; the words entirely Shakira's. Preposterously brilliant.
