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

    What an underrated album. This album perfectly describes love in all different shades: romantic, happy, confused, angry, heart-broken. It starts off with the haunting Shameless, which welcomes us to the world of Romance. Living Proof is heavenly, Bad Kind of Butterflies does a perfect job of describing anxiety, Liar is catchy, Dream of You almost feels like a dream, Easy is honest, Cry forWhat an underrated album.

Living Proof is heavenly, Bad Kind of Butterflies does a perfect job of describing anxiety, Liar is catchy, Dream of You almost feels like a dream, Easy is honest, Cry for Me is fun, This Love is relatable, Used to This is unique and First Man is emotional. I didn't like My Oh My and Feel It Twice because I found them generic. Senorita didn't belong to this album and should have replaced with Taxi or Anyone. The only problem is Camila taking too much inspirations from other artists, but she keep growing. Her song-writing is better than most of her peers and her voice is incredible. I am so excited for her next album!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is about love, but not only the ethereal and beautiful side of it, like in "Living Proof", "Easy" and "Dream of You", but the obscure and harder parts of it. In songs like "Shameless", "Liar" and "Bad Kind of Butterflies", it shows the conflicting feelings that arise when you are in a relationship with someone, but you are thinking of someone else. In songs like "Feel It Twice" and "Should've Said It", it talks about the sadness and anger you experience when a person confesses their feelings towards you, but you don't feel the same. There are many other gems hidden in this album about other aspects of love, but ending this amazing sonic experience with "First Man" is going back to the start of it all, when you realize that no matter what happens in your life romantically, the man who truly will love you unconditionally, is your dad.… Expand

    This album is so underrated it makes me so sad. The songwriting? Amazing. The different sounds? Outstanding. There's catchy songs like liar and my oh my, a beautiful love song with used to this, the sassy cry for me, the unconventional but 11/10 artistic masterpiece that is living proof and I could go on and on... I listen to this album probably everyday and I don't ever get tired of it

    Good but not as great as her first album. Romance lacks the authenticity that Camila’s first album had. Most of the songs were very fun and lovely, while some were just ”meh”.

    Even months after release, I still love this album. An underrated masterpiece. No skips on this album. Camila established herself as a songwriter and lyricist with strong vocals. But it is the story behind the songs and her ability to make the audience feel every emotion that makes this album outstanding. It deserves a lot more credit and attention.

    A step up for her songwriting and producing skills. I would have love for her to have one main producer for the whole album to keep it more cohesive. The effort and innovation is admirable however I would have love to see what Antonoff, Diplo, FINNEAS or Frank Dukes (again) could have done for an album.

    Since she's in love now, the songs are lyrically different from her first album and even if you're not in love, she makes you feel like you are. What a phenomenal human being.

    We see a great evolution in their strongest compositions and their vocals fully prepared for what i would like to hear. Having a visual, artistic and versatile album picking up various styles and leaving it all cohesive is perfect. The evolution I expected in this girl, I had even more than I expected maybe that might have surprised me.

    Certainly Camila has provided us with a generic album, but with a different severity that can make it superior to the "standard of generic pop" mode. The compositions and strong beats become good beats to the ears and a vocal control simply finished.

    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.
