    Great album with a very consistent tone, thanks to its excellent production. Highlights of the album include:
    Touch It, Into You, Greedy, Moonlight, Sometimes, Bad Decisions

    Brave yourselves, this is her MAGNUM OPUS. Gladly she did that 1 song a day on Apple Music, because listening to the whole album in one sitting is too much to handle.

    DANGEROUS WOMAN indeed. Ariana has demonstrated natural artistically growth. Yours Truly and My everything are definitely great foundations and then Dangerous Woman is an excellent addition to her project collections. The only thing I didn't like about this album was the closing song it's wasn't as promising as I feel it should be but in terms of pop albums in 2016. This is the BEST popDANGEROUS WOMAN indeed.

She's sustained her tone and elements from previous albums and then sound and dance elements are more parallel. I feel there's more she can bring but for a third album it's not bad at all. Would love to hear her work with MNEK.… Expand

    Without a doubt Ariana's strongest album to date. A very solid piece of work from start to finish with a surprising range in musical style. As always, Ariana's voice is in top form and the songwriting here is stronger than it's ever been.

    "Into You," "Greedy." and "Everyday" would all make great radio singles, while "Moonlight," "Leave Me Lonely" and "I Don't Care" show off her more mature R&B balladeering. In the end, Dangerous Woman proves to be a smart, sexy summer album and one of the best pop releases in recent memory.    … Expand

    This album is phenomenal. Every song is very diffrent yet they all connect with each other in a way. There also is no "filler" type of songs. My favorite song right now is bad decisions.

    Even though I should give her an 8 or a 9, she seems to have ditched the good girl side of hers and went to the bad, naughty, sexual side. Feels like a transformation, almost.

    This is 100% Grande's best album! She did amazing songs, she wrote most songs, now this is talent. She deserves a GRAMMY! I'm buying it, because it's amazing.

    The queen has outdone herself with this UNAPOLOGETIC MASTERPIECE! Her best album so far bar none. You can see how Grande has indeed a say in this album, in comparison to her previous records.

    Dangerous Woman is the best pop album of the decade. It's so beautifully cohesive and fun! Every song is a 10/10, by far her best album to date. Greedy is the best pop song ever!

    She appears to be in the right place creatively, but she just needs to take her own advice and break free.

    These songs [“Greedy,” “Into You” and “Touch It”], which unite a strong persona--haughty, insatiable, a little manic, really into you--with a vivid pocket version of one style or another, are the core of a swift, heedless pop album, albeit one struggling to emerge from the false notes (“Dangerous Woman”) and rote 2016 obligations (Future) of what’s probably an executive-mandated bagginess.

    The pop star is putting out fine records, but it’s hard to escape the feeling that her ludicrous potential remains unfulfilled.
