    I don't like anything about this album, it is definitely a flop, another flop by her

    Overproduced. Very bubblegum-y. Too ambitious. Vocal performance fades amidst the production. Bad songwriting. A collection of generic pop tunes. EMOTION remains as her only great record.

    Very messy and disappointing compared to Emotion. Now that I found you is the best song here.

    personally just found it boring... the production of each song is quite similar and i learned nothing new about the artist.

    Incredibly boring. Gosh, I was expecting SO much more after all of the insane hype but the album was just bad and... very immature? The woman is nearing 40 and sings a 15 year olds songs. Just incredibly disappointing. It is a BIG no from me. Sorry Carly. You didn’t get it right this time.

    CRJ hasn't grown as an artist at all and continues to sing songs you'd expect from a teenager. Absolutely no emotional depth at all.

    I don’t understand the hype of this album at all, extremely unoriginal and even boring at times.

    Did not enjoy this album. Carly hasn’t shown any progression as an artist, and I hope with her next record she will show more growth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The sound sounds very cheap, it reminds me of a slightly more “polished” version of Nelly’s “The Ride”, it gets repetitive, the drag-y sounds in some of the songs gets repetitive. Expand

    Needs a lot more work, it sounds like a cheaper version of her last album, many of the tracks are skippable, the only track I would ever go back to is “Party For One”, but unfortunately they put it on the deluxe track which was disappointing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was underwhelming, some of the lyrics in the album were quite childish and repetitively annoying, “the sound sound sound sound sound” and “real real real love” isn’t something I would enjoy listening to, along with the production, let’s not tear it apart, but if EMOTION wasn’t a part of her discography (because that album is better than every one of her other albums), then I would choose Kiss or Tug Of War any day over this, and then I saw on another article that she wrote over 200 songs for this album which she describes as “songs to clean your house to”, and she had listening sessions, girl, I genuinely think your friends were actually cleaning their house and not paying attention to the songs you played to them over the phone because this sounds like a random selection of songs, hopefully if she releases a side b to this, it won’t be as disappointing as this album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Songs like “Right Words Wrong Time” and “Everything He Needs” makes this album unbearable to listen to. She should have included A LOT more deluxe tracks, “For Sure” was not a satisfying song to listen to, I don’t understand why “Party For One” was left off of the final track list, so that was disappointing.

    Next thing you know she’s gonna name her next album Ultimate and have songs that are like “We in the home, we be alone, spending forever till we down to the bone ah ah ah I’m in love with ya ya ya”

    I’d rather be whispering NØ in my nights, I’ve tried every drug like you, I felt nothing when I found you etc. this album is so generic

    And I thought she would have improved since emotion? Apparently I was wrong. I really hope Lover is better than this.

    Some of the songs on here need some reworking, The production of some of these songs are water and oil, they just don’t go together, like “I’ll Be Your Girl” has nice vocals, but the production is a turnaway

    There could be an argument that a couple of edits to make the track listing shorter would have resulted in an even more effective album. However, this is easily one of the best pop albums of the year as it is: one that’s unlikely to be bettered unless a certain Ms Swift really pulls it out of the bag.

    Dedicated isn’t a perfect album--it’s overlong and occasionally concedes too much to chart tastes to be interesting. But by the time Jepsen takes a bow following bonus track “Party For One,” you’re reminded once again of her generosity, of all the space she’s cleared for strength and weakness, for personal epiphanies and communal release.

    Dedicated is good, but it doesn’t whirl with the same destructive force; in that sense, it is Carly Rae’s first genuine failure in a decade.
