    By far the best pop album at there, literally it has no skips. Its rare to find a album that is cohesive and lyrically amazing, I like that she uses different genres with each song , I'm impressed with the growth from her debut.Great Job Camila!!!!! The album is on REPEAT!

    Although the principle is confusing, the album has good songs, Camila Cabello managed to show her purpose with their songs, adding emotional tracks that address especially the feeling of love, to see its evolution in the production. it’s not perfect, it has its flaws, but its a nice album to listen.

    Good album that shows all of Camila's songwriting and singing skills but it fails to show a significant evolution since her debut.

    to be honest, i was waiting a bit more, but Camila makes you fall in love with this album. the album is great, from lyrically to musically. she should experiment more, like she did with bad kind of butterflies, which is my favourite. if you're looking for a really good pop album, this is your choice.

    Camila's second album belongs to a very interesting and fundamentalist aesthetic. 'Romance' is what the Cuban girl has meant since her debut debut album, yet this material is undoubtedly a visible evolution of the artist who remains confused about her feelings but who this time has managed to show them well through your lyrics.

Despite having some powerful fillers in the worst sense the word might have as 'Cry For Me' or 'Liar', Cabello is quick enough to cover these flaws by bringing in majestic tracks like 'This Love' and 'First Man' flagships of this powerful adventure… Expand

    This is such a good album, we can se that she really tried new things while creating this body of work, doing something different comparing to her debut self-titled album. Se came with different genres and tempos and she did THAT with the vocals. The album tells a love story combined in three chapters: Chapter one: Camila being in a relationship while wanting someone else.

    Chapter two: Camila leaving this other person and going to her love.
    Chapter three: A wedding, that is described on the track “First man”. (And I really loved that bc she stayed true to her roots, bc in latin telenovelas, EVERYTHING, ends up in a wedding, and camila once said she just loved them!) Anyways, it’s a really enjoyable album, Camila did great, there were only one or two songs that seemed kinda off, but looking at the full project, belíssimo!    … Expand

    This artistic , romantically curated story fits right into the catalog of Ms.Cabello . Perfecting her sound of Latin instruments and pop beats , she carries you in this journey leaving you wondering what the next chapter will be .

    She's given us a piece of her heart in this album. Brilliant production, powerful vocals and pen-game, versatility and so much artistic growth from her first album. She talks about all the stages of love. Give it a listen and you definitely won't regret it.

    Camila Cabello's 'Romance' is a big step in her career. Her sounds and lyrics had a big grow, and it's so much better than her first album, 'Camila' (which is also very good though). It's good to see that she's not an ex-Fifth Harmony anymore, she's Camila Cabello.

    O álbum é coeso, e embora seja muito semelhante ao "Camila", sinto que nada nele é datado ou obsoleto. Gosto da maneira como ele soa.

    It’s not perfect, but it’s still very beautiful. She hits the mark perfectly on the idea of romance on first man, used to be, living proof and easy.
    Dream of you could use a lot less auto tune as well as this love, but the rest don’t stick. Bad kind of butterflies is really pretty, but I can’t say much else about it.

    This is the only good real pop album released this year. The Spanish guitar and strings mixed with modern pop is fresh. Should Have Said It and Living Proof are the top two best tracks.

    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.
