    Having just heard "Familia", her latest release, made me finally check her discography and find she's only able to get two or three good songs per release. Her fans mass giving 10s to her albums here won't change that.

    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. 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 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. Despite songs as This Love, Easy and Shameless that were well written and produced (but Cabello's high, weak and breathy vocals kinda ruined it), this album it's just another pop album -but worse. I'm not even gonna say that it was a surprise because, honestly, my expectations for the cuban singer was already low. 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.

    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.

    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.

    En mi opinión es un album muy bueno, creo que se nota el crecimiento de Camila Cabello (musicalmente hablando) y la producción del album es muy buena, lo unico malo fue la terrible promocion que tuvo (pero eso ya no corresponde a la artista) mis canciones favoritas fueron: Used to this, Easy, Bad Kind Of Butterflies y First Man
