Nov 5, 2020The faintly cosmopolitan dance-pop grooves and finely measured ballads offer few unexpected turns. They're set apart more by a lack of gospel and soul, consequently rendering Love Goes plain by Smith's standard -- unfortunate for an artist whose instrument is anything but that.
-
Nov 2, 2020It’s nice to hear them taking a few small risks. Next, it’d be great to see Smith get really wild.
-
Oct 30, 2020Love Goes doesn’t quite have overwhelming moments to match the titanic power of signature hits like “Latch,” Smith’s career-making hit with house duo Disclosure, or 2017’s “Him.” In some ways, that’s OK.
-
Oct 29, 2020In ‘Love Goes’ Sam Smith has produced a flawed but decent return that mirrors the introspection of this strange, difficult year.
-
Oct 29, 2020‘Love Goes’ does possess a handful of pop- and radio-friendly tracks, but at its core its Smith’s knack for sap and soul – and their singular, chilling vocals – that forms the base of the record. When it comes to songwriting, Smith oscillates towards what they know.
-
Oct 29, 2020For the most part, the mood here is pensive, the ballads plentiful and the pace glacial, with little evidence of the wild abandon that the singer supposedly longs for. It’s to Smith’s credit, but also their undoing, that they are just too damned nice.
-
Oct 30, 2020Love Goes wallows too much in its comfort zone to be truly memorable.
-
Oct 29, 2020An album that exists to waft sadly, but unobtrusively, in the background.
