    It is an excellent album where we can see how Selena plays or discovers new rhythms and sounds, the great growth since Revival is also noticeable and one we noticed a Selena more sure of herself and her lyrics are of self-esteem and acceptance that are very important issues today, if Selena gave us an album of self-love. Amazing!

Let Me Get Me is inspiring. Ring is unlike anything anyone has ever done. A Sweeter Place was perfectly done. Vulnerable is raw and honest.

    I'm really proud of the woman she's getting around, and brought an album certainly with her soul and all love. The sound is so hot to hear, and her totally pure vocals that tends to be the voice of an angel. The album is totally cohesive and the way it proposed all these years. To say that this is a generic, it's certainly lying to yourself.

    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.
