    Wonderful production and very honest and personal lyrics. It's really amazing to see an artist that now days is willing to open up and talk about love in such an emotional and pure way and of course her vocals that are very honest and raw. Simply magic it made me want to fall in love and have those songs as a soundtrack of it

    I find this album more powerful and better than 'Camila', the production, the vocals and all the things are so f*cking good. I can't stop listening to it, and songs like Feel It Twice and Should've Said It are my favourites, I hope Camila can continue writing more songs because I love the way she makes music. Seriously, this album is so good.

    Camila definitely sounds more mature and seems to be interested in experimenting with different sounds. A solid sophomore album!

    Camila Cabello's Sophomore record "Romance" is pure beauty. The growth in her artistry is evident throughout the record. "Romance" poetically explores various phases of love. Its beauty and its chaos. Its light and its darkness. Its joy and its sorrow. Its strength and its weakness. The talented soul's songwriting is striking with the perfect balance of sass and vulnerability. CamilaCamila Cabello's Sophomore record "Romance" is pure beauty.

    I never underestimate her but I'm always positively surprised!!!! I love it!!! She's a great songwriter (and singer duh) and I love it that she's telling us a story about how she first thought about rejecting her lover's feelings for her (and her own) to accepting it and then being in love. Great album.

    You can easily see how much of an improvement Romance is from CAMILA. Lyrically is her best work so far. I’m in awed on the growth she is showing. I love how she experimented with a couple songs like “My Oh My,” “Bad Kind of Butterflies,” and “Used to This.” She had the emotional songs too that hit you right in the feels. “First Man” comes to mind immediately.

A very cohesive album that again shows her growth as an artist. I am very content with the way this album came out. Listen to this it with no hateful bias. Just listen to the lyrics, to the production and you’ll see that I am not Romance only makes me more excited for what’s to come. Camila has a long career ahead of her and as long as she sticks to being true to herself I know her third era will be even better.… Expand

    Camila nos dilata con su voz y sus armonías en su segundo trabajo discográfico.
    Esto es un avance de madurez comparado con su anterior trabajo donde incluía sus éxitos como Havana y Never Be The Same, dándole un sentido moderado a su álbum homónimo.

    Esto es un avance de madurez comparado con su anterior trabajo donde incluía sus éxitos como Havana y Never Be The Same, dándole un sentido moderado a su álbum homónimo.
    Romance no solo habla de romance de parejas, como ya se tenía previsto, Romance son líricas de amor propio, amor externo, amor de uno mismo, nos enseña que el amor lo puede todo, por eso el nombre Romance, el romance que tiene uno con uno mismo o como tú lo quieras ver, pero la verdad, Camila contó con una buena producción en este trabajo lírico que dejó a todo el mundo mudo.

    Cuando escuchamos Liar o Bad Kind of Butterflies pensamos en ''Wow, ella tiene tanta razón'', y luego escuchamos algo como ''Señorita'' y decimos ''Hey, dónde se fue la Camila?'' y luego escuchamos Feel It Twice y Used to This, y decimos ''Oh, ahí está''. La lírica y la voz de Camila solo te transportan y te hacen sentir querido, amado y tolerado. Ella solo te dice, ''amate como yo te amo a ti'' y es algo que no se cambia de un artista.

    No podemos olvidarnos de los sonidos tan naturales y deliciosos que suenan y cuando escuchamos, nos enamoramos como unos tontos. Gracias a Phineas Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat, Fran Dukes, ROMANS, entre otros, que se han destacado como unos de los productores que han hecho buenas canciones años atrás y contando el presente.
    Y si hablamos de expresiones líricas, podemos admirar el gran trabajo que hizo Charli XCX en Señorita o ROMANS en This Love.

    Romance puede consagrarse como unos de los mejores álbumes que se han estrenado a finales del 2019 y se puede ver un éxito muy grande.

    Felicidades a Camila por darnos algo para poder sentir amor que a este mundo le falta.    … Expand

    Al álbum se le nota 100% el avance vocal que tiene desde su primer álbum a éste, las canciones tienen ritmos súper distintos pero a la vez muchos parecidos al primer álbum y le doy un 15/10 por dar distintos ritmos/temas pero todos en base al romance como el título del álbum, a dormir muy agusto

    Cabello’s willingness to assist in [the music industry’s embrace of the “Latin” sound] caricature elsewhere distracts from the otherwise interesting Spanish-classical and Santana-esque riffs on Romance.

    Throughout “Romance,” the pop machinery clicks cleverly and efficiently into place around Cabello’s voice. The productions tend to be sparse — spooky electronic sounds, an occasional acoustic or electric guitar, hefty but discreet drums — and even where the choruses ratchet up, Cabello’s voice often stays close and confiding.

    Romance is a solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that places growth at center-stage and keeps us wanting more without going limp.
