REVIEWS


91
A.V. CLUB

The songs hold to simple instrumentation and simple structures that allow Adele’s raspy, expressive voice to develop the story in the verses before she delivers the hook.

90
MUSICOMH

21 really is one of the great 'break-up' albums, and the first truly impressive record of 2011.

80
NO RIPCORD

Adele and her team have crafted an album that’s both full of songs that have the potential to reach the upper reaches of the charts, and also a collection of songs that hang together as an album.

70
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

21 is a good album that shows the world Adele’s talent, but one that is just a precursor to bigger and better things.

50
POPMATTERS

21 instead feels simultaneously overcooked and nervously unsure of itself.
