    Wow! Such a banger for her 15th album! An R&B staple icon such as Mariah can not and will never be beat! This album showcases her vocals, songwriting, and everything that is fundamental Mariah!

    To put it in words, "Caution", is carey's best modern-day R&B effort, with most tracks out of the 10 from the tracklist being some of her greatest of the 2010s, and possibly, to date! Caution should be an essential listen to all new lambily, and will be remembered for its iconic place in her discography.

    Standout tracks: GTFO, With You, Giving Me Life, One Mo Gen, Stay Long Love You,    To put it in words, "Caution", is carey's best modern-day R&B effort, with most tracks out of the 10 from the tracklist being some of her greatest of the 2010s, and possibly, to date!

    Best r&b album of the 10s. VERY underrated. Top tracks are giving me life, caution and portrait in my opinion. Giving me life is such a throwback to 90s rnb. Caution too. And portrait is so personal, it’s beautifully written.

    Um dos melhores álbuns dela, extremamente agradável e bem produzido! Embora a capa seja cafona, o álbum serve muito

    Um dos melhores e mais coesos trabalhos feitos por Mariah Carey. Bem produzido, boas composições, videoclipes, etc.

    Why is she still making records nobody buys? She's a has been whos only fans are petty gay men who hide behind her past achievements.

    Previously, Mariah Carey has made it clear that she’s been through too much to care what anyone else thinks, shrugging off critics and denying all drama. On Caution, Carey has channeled that energy into the music itself.

    She’ll employ of-the-moment producers to add current touches to her tracks, but the way she uses them on Caution results in her fine-tuning her aesthetic, not bending to current playlist-friendly trends.

    A neat album of only 10 tracks. We find her in life-admin mode, clearing out any dispensable trash that she no longer has time or the inclination for. ... Sublime.
