    Гомез выпустила хороший поп альбом, но его основная проблема в том, что многие песни звучат абсолютно идентично, серо. Возможно, со второго-третьего прослушивания что то и изменится, однако такая проблема наблюдалась и в ее предыдущем студийнике. По итогу много сильных песен, как и филлеров, но альбом получился чуточку слабее его предшественника.Гомез выпустила хороший поп альбом, но его основная проблема в том, что многие песни звучат абсолютно идентично, серо.

    La producción de este álbum es magistral y supera por mucho a la producción de Revival, aún no termino de decidir que sonidos me gustan más, lo que es obvio es que podemos ver un avance tanto en lírica como en madurez, Rare superó las expectativas.

    The pop princess returns. Selena decided to experiment and discover her own sound, which is rare these days. She doesn’t copy other sounds to stay popular like others, she makes her sound. It was well worth the wait.

    Tô muito orgulhoso da Selena, primeira vez que ela fala abertamente sobre acontecimentos pessoais e reais, momentos marcantes de sua vida, com certeza um álbum autobiográfico. Uma pena ver gente criando conta aqui para apenas abaixar a nota dela. Mas o bem sempre vence e a Selena sempre brilha. Rare é um grito de vitória.
