    Um album empolgante no qual você não fica entediado (tirando algumas musicas que são extremamente entediantes). Tirando isso é um álbum legal de se ouvir além de eu amar o shawn

    I can note the maturity of the voice and compositions. "In my blood" marks the album portraying anxiety attacks. It's my favorite song on the album.

    I come back to this album all the time it's just amazing. I love Shawn, his songwriting on this album truly is amazing and this album proves how much he matured and how he gives different rhythms and styles a try and it all works out so well. In my blood really deserved that **** grammy so much

    It is an album that is not bad but it is definitely not wonderful and much less innovative. Somewhat different rhythms by Mendes, however the lyrics and themes in them remain the same. We got cute love and heartbreak hymns like: Fallin 'All In You, Why, When You're Ready.
    And a great song to sing to our YOUTH

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Shawn Mendes isn't just an album, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. It’s art, the first gift you open on Xmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you need !! Expand

    One of the best and most interesting albums. He plays with genres and his evolution from his first two albums to this one is incredible. He keeps evolving as an artist.

    This album is fine, it has good songs like "Youth" and "In my blood" but it's not surprising.

    There's a palpable sweetness to music that endures, even when a production is as bright and glistening as it is on Shawn Mendes. That bodes well for the future that Shawn Mendes is so evidently planning for.

    This looming sense of familiarity extends past the album’s musical elements and into its writing. Shawn Mendes is populated with stock characters: the girl who’s a little too high on her own supply, the girl worth waiting forever for, the girl who got away.

    Shawn Mendes is a remarkably well-crafted pop album that finds the singer trying on different styles, prominently showcasing his collaborators and making some flagrant references--yet his persona has become strong enough that he’s never overpowered by any of it.
