    The sexy songs aren't sexy. The poppy songs aren't poppy. The vocals aren't interesting and the instrumentals are hollow. Not a very convincing statement for the man who said he was making better music than Frank Ocean...

    The production and mixing really ruined the record for me. He has a great voice but his lyrics are pretty basic most of the times. I appreciate the effort but his previous album was way better than this.

    A debauched orgy of explicit rnb and rock. Miguel isn't afraid to let it all show and to explore multiple genre's. It is a nut heavy handed at times but tgey are reslly wonderful moments here such as the Lenny Kravitz assitred "face the sun" or lead single "coffee " which is best hearded with the remixed Aale feature. He's rough and unashamed and it's really exciting to witness.

    Its palette remains expansive. [No. 123, p.61]

    Wildheart impresses in parts, and Miguel’s vocals are a thing to behold. For the most part, however, it’s a record that struggles to fully hold your attention.

    The psychedelic haze of second LP Kaleidoscope Dream us toned down, replaced by a quixotic take on the R&B and rock landscape that, more than anything, stakes a claim for otherness. [Sep 2015, p.113]
