Oct 13, 2015The album frequently slips back into forgettable genericism, and its back half is mediocre--but it’s also a strength. At its high points, Revival is marked by this lush, sphinx-like readinessss: as if, after a decade and a half of being nonstop front and center, Gomez has finally figured out what it means to center herself.

Oct 9, 2015It makes for a solid pop album overall, but it's a little too formulaic and predictable to rate among her best work.
