    this album is AMAZINGLY COHESIVE, it shows her most mature self & it’s a fun album. At a first listen, you’re like “oh okay, that different” but a good different. you can tell she has a lot of control over this album & her vocal growth is amazing

    Overall a really good album , wasn't a fan of "Look at her now" 's lyric Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm , that specific lyric made the song feel out of place . but Album has really good songs in them as well . Its quite different from Selena's previous albums but good.

    Really good album with great songs and lyrics, no doubt. But some of these are generic and in the end i do not find this album memorial. I feel like there was something missing. Something where i can say „wow“

    love it everyone single part of it, selena gomez really just said **** you all and did her own thing which sounded different than her last album.

    the lyrics were so meaningful and simple like that and in her song vulnerable and a sweeter place she surprises you with where the track is going. it’s amazing people should probably give it a listen. wait and if there’s anything i would change

    Rare is one of the best albums ever released. Selena has shown artistry, growth, versatility, talent and creativity. This album deserves to be rated 100 for its meaning and really translating feeling into music, in a way that sounds good. Other artists need to take notes.

    This is what I’ve been waiting for. Not only as someone who appreciates her work but as a pop music enthusiast. Her best work HANDS down! I love how she tries to experiment new sounds but it still has that "thing" that is proper to her. Seriously, no skips at all. And what i appreciate the most is that there are songs for every mood you’re in. 10/10, perfect.

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
