Jul 24, 2013Ciara is the singer’s most realized full-length to date and one of this year’s most thrilling pop moments.
-
Jul 15, 2013[Ciara sounds] blissfully triumphant and uncomplicated on a record from start to finish.
-
Jul 11, 2013This one is way, way, way better [than her last album], not least thanks to a quaint little ditty called "Body Party."
-
Jul 8, 2013However good the other tracks are here, it's her indomitable track with Nicki Minaj, I'm Out, that powers this album.
-
Jul 8, 2013The result isn't a muddled mess but another lean and focused set, despite the involvement of several writers and producers.
-

-
Jul 9, 2013Content? Sure. Complacent? Not yet.
-
Jul 11, 2013Ciara feels slightly (though only slightly) weaker when she swims against the current of her own charm and tries for “raw.”
-
Jul 17, 2013This is a pretty good album for fans of dance-pop or contemporary R&B.
-
Jul 16, 2013Other than ["Where You Go"], Ciara is a crisp, clean album that doesn’t waste much motion.
-
Jul 15, 2013Though at times she panders to the club a bit much, and doesn’t provide quite the depth that is expected of a self-titled album and an artist on her fifth go around, Ciara is filled with a fun batch of songs.
