    Trite, and largely forgettable. The hooks, melodies, and beats sound too familiar to be interesting.

    She's lost the touch, these songs don't connect emotionally the way her previous stuff does.

    Worst album of the year 2022. She needs to retire or something cause it ain't for her to become popular.

    Though there are bright spots of disco bliss, for the most part, The Loneliest Time is a rather reflective project. Its creation took place at one of the most uncertain periods of our recent history, and that uncertainty made Jepsen’s songwriting introspective. ... Deep questions aren’t answered on the record, but her struggles make for some beautiful music.

    The album’s only real mishap is the lack of sonic cohesion between energizing jams and moments of quiet clarity, but each song is able to hold its own as a solid pop offering.

    Jepsen’s wide range of diverse influences is still on display, but she’s the most mature and refined she has ever sounded.
