    Across 12 tracks that all clock in under three minutes or so in length, Charlie is an expertly-crafted collection of earworms that stay in your head longer than any viral photo or TikTok clip. On his terrific, cohesive third studio album, the man with the perfect pitch proves he’s got the perfect formula for a great pop record too.

    An album that turns a sound into a physical being, CHARLIE is packed full of personality and heart.

    Charlie offers hope to both the singer and to sympathetic listeners, closing this very relatable chapter of his life with optimism hard-won through this catchy pop package.

    While some of the songs slip into genericity, such as the forgettable There’s a First Time For Everything, others are 80s-inspired, synth-led earworms. Smells Like Me stands out as one of the album’s highlights, a masterclass in pop writing with an ultra-memorable hook.

    In spite of much of ‘CHARLIE’ missing complexity or a distinctive flair, the album remains punchy and bright and what Puth lacks in poetry, he makes up for with glimpses of pure pop excellence.

Him being himself, taking us, the audience through every song before release just felt so personal. He did not disappoint AT ALL! He took the 4 year break and bounced back bigger than ever before. I am so proud that I stood by the building stages of this album because honestly this turned out to be extremely beautiful and i don't think anybody would deny that. Charlie, keep ya head up! Can't wait to hear more of your music!… Expand

    It's good. It sounds catchy and interesting. But the lyrics still need to be improved.
