    More of the same. And tracks in their incomplete version being sung.
    It should not be cool to pretend this is a good job.

    Overrated. I do not understand how they say it's good music, when it's not.

    For me an unnecessary release. Fans are interested in new stuffs and not recycling old hits.Beyoncé is much better than this show

    Beyonce is always doing the same thing, the same kind of music, dancings... Is not enough? Can't you change a little bit and do some different, some new stuff? She is an amazing singer, one of the best, her voice is great, but if you listen to 1 album, you can say that you had listen to all because they're very similar.

    Un álbum absurdo no me gusto no me parece que se considere un álbum en si y no me parece justo que tenga buenas criticas.

    It's just a MESS. I don't understand why it has 98 metacritic score. I think the reviewers are deaf?

    Long segments don't even feature Beyoncé, which can be trying on the album but in the film are understood as the accompaniment to dance routines and skits.

    Beyoncé’s ambitions outstrip those of her peers. ... Yes, Homecoming is one of the greatest live albums ever. If nothing else, the intention behind her performance makes it so. ... So much action. So many cues and rhythms, so much narrative momentum. Its melodic and rhythmic quotes need footnotes to fully absorb, and her voice resonates with history. Still, calling it the best live album of all time may be a stretch. ... Hell if I know, but it ranks way, way up there. ... So yeah, it’s fair to say that Beyoncé, and this work, is genius.

    Not only is Homecoming an artistically-sound triumph, it’s a cultural touchstone and, quite possibly, the live album of a generation.
