    I just love this album sooo much. There are songs for every kind of mood, you can shake your *ss if you want, you can feel sexy, and you can have a good cry as well. She is such an amazing artist, and I love her mature lyrics and voice. ❤️❤️

    Love everything about this album. Vulnerable, creative, fun. I love that she is completely in her own lane here. This album doesn't sound like anyone or anything else out right now!

Definitely an A+ album.. hope if gets all the awards and accolades it deserves!… Expand

    Genuinely great album! Love the Latin vibes and genius production. A one-of-a-kind album from a once-in-a-generation artist, Can't wait to watch her musical evolution.

    This album is her best yet. She sounds much better in her mother language. Ps : hasta los dientes, la buena vida and boys don't cry are the best songs in my opinion.

    Probably her best work thus far, Familia captures the essence of Camila Cabello, opposed to her radio-focused debut studio effort, and her slightly clunky follow-up 'Romance'.

Familia showcases Camila's greatest strengths - her honing in on her heritage, making up for bright colorful, energetic latin-pop tunes such as 'Don't Go Yet', 'La Buena Vida', or 'Hasta Los Dientes', the third might ending up becoming one of her greatest songs in her extending discography. Other highlights, such as 'psychofreak', despite it's clunky lyrics, showcases the inner mind of Cabello and the constant pressures and battles she has to deal with consistently on a daily basis. Or the pop-record 'Quiet', which honestly, encapsulates the feeling of her anxiety very well, the tension arising and her mind going quiet once she receives the craving attention of her lover. Overall, if she continues going down this route with her singing career, I can definitely see her thriving off the quality of her music alone.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Your best album yet. Vulnerable and sincere. The melodies are the best part, managing to unite excellent pop with his Cuban roots. The highlights are Celia, who opens the album very well accompanied by the interlude Familia; No Doubt and the Maria Becerra's feat. in Hasta Los Dientes. Certainly one of the best of the year.… Expand

    Another step on the right direction, more latin flavored with some great disco/ rock experiments that happen to be the best on the album. A great artistic development but worse than her debut.

    Cabello's attempts at genre-bending aren't always successful, and her chosen guest artists tend to either sound poorly matched to her style or outshine her own contributions to a given song, but the irrepressible joy felt by the singer from her pride in her culture and her love and thankfulness for her loved ones remains infectious throughout "Familia" thanks to her impeccable vocals andCabello's attempts at genre-bending aren't always successful, and her chosen guest artists tend to either sound poorly matched to her style or outshine her own contributions to a given song, but the irrepressible joy felt by the singer from her pride in her culture and her love and thankfulness for her loved ones remains infectious throughout "Familia" thanks to her impeccable vocals and bright, peppy Latin rhythms whose flirtations with indie rock, R&B and bedroom pop add some welcome sonic variety.

    This is one of Camila's most mature and coherent albums. The way she expresses herself through her lyrics, going back to her Latin origins is charming.

    This album is another 10/10 project in Camila’s discography. We witness the star dive into the sound of her latin roots with pop infusion. What’s really astounding about this album is how vulnerable and relatable Camila is as she exposes her insecurities and anxiety which resonates with a lot of us. You must listen to it!

    Familia consegue transmitir tudo o que Camila quis: união, bons momentos com aqueles que amamos e diversão. Um album na sua maior parte das vezes super feliz que nos mostra um pouco mais das raízes de Camila e que nos faz, sem dúvida, ficar ainda mais fãs do seu trabalho. O seu melhor e mais autêntico projeto até à data.

    I already find it more interesting than Romance that i hated. I'm happy to find some sounds from the first album, it suits him perfectly. The problem is the title, I don't really understand this choice.

    A capable vocalist with a lightly nasal tone and a dramatic streak, Cabello rarely misses an opportunity to riff or sail into her wispy head voice. But her spoken delivery can be just as captivating.

    Though moments fall into realms of safety, churning out easy radio-hits, we’re hoping she continues on this venture into more diverse sounds - as those more exciting, genre-fusing tracks are pretty fabulous.

    Cabello possesses the talent to transcend it all. It’s just a shame when she succumbs to phoning it in.
