    Between this and the Vroom Vroom EP from last year, I'd be cool with PC Music and Charli being some of only a handful of people making pop music for the next 10 years. Miles better than practically anything you will hear on the radio or charts right now. This is where pop is heading in the future.

    This is some of the most addictive pop music I've heard all year. It lyrically sharp, sonically exciting and above all, it's rejuvenating to hear an artist take these creative risks in a world full of the same old recycled sounds.

    Every song on this perfect mixtape reinvents listeners' perception of pop music today, making Number 1 Angel an absolute must-have. Favourite tracks: Dreamer, Blame It On U, Roll With Me, Lipgloss

    Her first official mix tape I will say it did take me awhile to get into it, but once I did I couldn't stop listening to it. It is such a fun and 2017 fitting mix tape that I really think brought out a side of Charli that I feel like wasn't as prominent as before. She took most of the current trends and just made them her own and it is super cool listening to her take on it andHer first official mix tape I will say it did take me awhile to get into it, but once I did I couldn't stop listening to it.

This mix tape made me look soooo forward to her next project Pop 2.… Expand

    Her best.
    The melodies, the collaborations and her VISION for it all!
    This is her best work, it's thanks to this mixtape that her new works are getting so much praise.
    It's really sad that it is becoming even underrated at this point..

    It may not hit the mark every time, but her adventurous, unapologetic approach to driving pop forwards to exciting new ground should be praised, good.

    What I like the most about this album is that Charli did whatever she wanted. It's one of the few albums in which I do love all the songs. My favorites songs of the album are White Roses, Dreamer and 3AM.

    A vibetacular mixtape from charles, with confidence emanating from Roll With Me and raunchiness oozing from the sweet Lipgloss feat. Cupcakke

    More pop and avant-pop tracks than in 'Vroom Vroom' that's for sure, but it's still good,

    Number 1 Angel is a maybe mixtape, sorta free, but released by a voice that’s constantly solving life’s real problems with the imagined solutions of pop music.

    Number 1 Angel is best at its most vulnerable. ... The other novelty of Number 1 Angel and Charli’s past work is that it showcases, and is largely stolen by, a lot of guests.
