    nada de novo, só samples de músicas antigas, falta de personalidade e originalidade, da próxima vez mostre um trabalho coeso e original

    good vocals but it's an album full of samples and generic. Singles production could be more

    Has a few enjoyable songs (Cry for me, My oh my, Liar), but most of them are forgettable at best. Señorita should have been left out, but I understand why she would include it.

    Completely disappointed with this album, for me she regressed a lot compared to the first album.

    it just sounds so similar and boring. her vocals sound auto tuned in a lot of the songs and it is just boring in general. her debut was much better and there isn’t a song that i like on this. so disappointed

    Shows no growth compared to the first album, this makes it a generic version. Exaggeration of Latin rhythms to try to hit a hit, plus exaggerated autotune

    Camila’s second album is an enjoyable fatigue pop. Though I would like to raise the score to 5 if it’s turned off, it’s no exception to any other unworthy albums out there. Everything feels rushed. Unlike Camila, there’s no delicate vulnerable emotion and only focused as theme songs for fake inauthentic relationship. Using saccharine approach to Latin pop in English, what could be worseCamila’s second album is an enjoyable fatigue pop.

    Mediano, álbum fraco, nitidamente não há nenhum hit no álbum.
    A sorte foi ter colocado “Senhorita”

    Es un álbum aburrido, todas las canciones suenan igual y más de alguna quiere ser un Havana 2.0

    Camila furthered her hole of only have hits with other people on this album. Señorita the only hit is decent but after that the album is lacking any hard hitters on the charts or artistically, showing her weakness as a solo artist. Some songs are nice enough but others drag on and feel bland beyond belief.

Some songs are nice enough but others drag on and feel bland beyond belief. Despite having so many singles already no one seems to care about this album other then her relatively moderately sized fan base. This might be because it’s impossible for camila to score a solo hit because she just isn’t incredible enough. If Señorita hadn’t proceeded this album and the publicity stunt that is “shawnmilla” or whatever this album would be a flop on levels that hadn’t been seen for a star that had previously had such a huge song (Havana). Señorita reeks of a one hit wonder doing everything they can to stay on, and it worked... but how long can it work? This album indicates that not much longer probably. Overall romance is a lackluster, boring and bland pop album that goes no where. And just proves what I’ve thought of Camila for such a long time, she’s a discount pop star.… Expand

    Annoying voice
    Basic production
    She's trying so hard to make another Havana but this is a complete fail.

    I'm sorry, but I'm so disappointed. Camila needs to FIND her sound. I think she's being experimental but that's not what we want. Love you Camila, xo.

    Geral: É um album bem esquecível… Não há musicas marcantes como o seu ultimo, que continua sendo o melhor.
    A identidade “latina” foi perdida, que talvez seria o seu diferencial e passou a ser um pop com tentativas de rock. Não há hits além de Señorita, que é de fato a mais radiofonica do album, mas não é a melhor.    … Expand

    A album with zero lyrical effort, the lyrics are so simple that could been written by a under artist, sonically the album don't show nothing new, the same compasses of her first album, the Latins vibes were there but don't show any variation like if was a type of satire that how people think Latin songs sound.

    This girl can't sing, point blank period. Senorita sounds better with just shawn, my oh my is a copy of havana which is a copy of same old love. Living Proof is the worst song of the decade. Cry for Me is a total Marina rip off. Justice to all the other fifth harmony girls who can actually sing and deserve this career that Camila somehow got.

    I think this follow-up very poor. CAMILA was wayy better. It has a few good one like shameless but too many skips. Trying too hard 2 show her voice.

    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.
