Apr 2, 2019Solange attempts to do a full conceptual album but the poor lyric content, excess of interludes and tired sounds & production made the album boring and without any perspective. (6/10)

Mar 9, 2019Have you ever tried to like something to a point where you give it so many chances but you still end up being disappointed? Yeah, that’s what I experienced with this album. It's not bad but it certainly left me wanting more.

Mar 8, 2019While more eclectic and adventurous than its predecessor, When I Get Home is let down by some stiff instrumentals and Solange's inexpressive singing.

Mar 4, 2019I feel like on “When I Get Home”, Solange takes us on a journey. The problem is she’s not sure where are we headed and I’m not sure if I wanna go. The album is a collection of pleasant sounds that form absolutely nothing.
Solange clearly tried to break particular rules on her latest album, she shouldn’t have cause the result is rather messy. -
Mar 3, 2019Experimentation isn’t always for public consumption even when packaged by Beyoncé’s creative directors. I tried giving the album a few chances but it’s increibly challenging and not sure it’s worth my investment in time.

Mar 4, 2019It's trying to be the arty, jazz-inflected follow-up to the Seat at the Table, but fails due to a lack of good songs or interesting direction. The production is the best part.

Mar 5, 2019I honestly have to say that this album is such a disappointment, especially after she release A Seat at the Table
-
Mar 20, 2019When she became so boring? Her true ep some years ago was entertaining. This is a snoozefest, even more than "a seat at the table".
-
Mar 6, 2019Random compositions, confusing tracklist. An explosion of ideas, but poorly developed
-
May 13, 2019Feels like a super long mediation project to me, where her vocals lie behind the instrumentation most of the time with some standout lyrics & tunes just scattered around. I respect the effort but perhaps this has to be a Nope for me.

Nov 20, 2019In a year where R&B and hip hop have proved the most innovative and original genres Solange has delivered a brilliantly crafted record that places her right at the top.

The WireMay 7, 2019Knowles’s instincts guide the cultural conversation in a way that feels healing, intentional and authentically collectiveminded. A well-constructed spell, cast with intention. [May 2019, p.63]
-
MojoMay 1, 2019All credit to Knowles, though, whose vision is so cohesive that the 19 short tracks feel like one long, utterly immersive piece. [Jun 2019, p.86]
