    Shawn deu mais um passo em sua evolução como artista em seu álbum autointitulado "Shawn Mendes", letras mais maduras, vocais melhorados, produções mais elaboradas se for comparar com seu álbum de estreia. O álbum tem grandes musicas eleitas a single, que da pra ele trabalhar muito bem. A cada album Shawn evolui e melhora e

    Perfect step into the right direction. The album does have some songs which could be thrown into the trash but its highlights (In My Blood, Lost In Japan, Particular Taste, Youth, Where Were You In The Morning?, Why) make up for them. Well done Mr. Mendes! Congrats

    The album explores many different genres that make it very interesting. For a 19 year old, he did a really good job.

    This is his best work so far. The vibe of every single song is really chill and every song is enjoyable. Amazing vocals, amazing instrumentals, really nice and straight-forward lyrics, I've got nothing bad to say about this album...

    ÁLBUM MAIS QUE PERFEITO! Shawn Mendes trabalhou muito bem nele, não deixou nada a desejar, letras maravilhosas, hinos memoráveis e que ficam na cabeça muito rápido como queen, nervous e youth. Um artista de verdade faz assim.

    ART. Shawn really DID that. Shawn offers a more mature album where he explores other themes besides love and breakup. It'a magnificent record.

    An extremely diverse album with a great variety of upbeat and sad songs. Mendes shows his true vocal talent in this album, and his inner emotions are felt with songs like "Why" and "When You're Ready". "Like To Be You" with Julia Michaels might be one of the best duets of the year, and hits hard. Almost every song is memorable, and is Mendes's best work to this date.

    Beautiful melodies. Composed very well. The lyrics moved me. He has the power to make his voice a type of emotion, which can move you to the point of tears, especially Perfectly Wrong. Cried 5 times. Clearly his best vocal performance. Good job!

    Loved this album, thought it was by far his best. Favorite songs are where were you in the morning and why.

    Loving how open he was in this album and that it's sonically cohesive. Lyrically improved from his 1st album.

    it’s different from everything that shawn has ever did ! n the lyrics are literally everything. the way that hi decides to use a sad lyric to make it into something playful, fun n original is magical.

    espereo muito pelo álbum e me surpreendi pois está perfeito! Merecia muito indicação a AOTY, mas só de ter sido indicado a SOTY no grammy ja valeu a pena. O Shawn se esforça demais em tudo que faz e esse álbum é o resultado disso.

    Para ser un artista nuevo en la industria ha sabido hacer música con la que te puedes identificar, los sonidos no llegan a ser algo que te llegue a disgustar debido a que no tocan el punto de ser extravagantes o simplemente artificiales, sin duda un buen álbum por parte de Shawn

    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.
