CRITIC REVIEWS

AllMusic

Underwood's deliberate maturation doesn't come at the expense of what she's done before. Instead, it deepens and enrichens what was already there-as any good maturation would-and the result is an album as satisfying as it is surprising.

A.V. Club

It’s not surprising that sixth album Cry Pretty ... contains significant emotional depth; the title track is her own rallying cry to get through this exceptionally trying year.

75
Consequence of Sound

Carrie Underwood has taken some modest political risks without changing her full-throated style. She knows what she’s good at, and Cry Pretty is full of the kind of songs that made her one of the most popular artists in the world.

Rolling Stone

The singer’s big-box country tackles gun violence and addiction alongside heartbreak and early-AM booty calls.

Paste

On her new album Cry Pretty, Carrie Underwood belts out rafters-reaching country anthems, incorporates dance and hip-hop beats into her radio-ready twang-pop and even dips her toe into politically charged waters on a couple of songs.

PopMatters

Carrie Underwood mostly sticks to her comfort zone on Cry Pretty, but she steps ever so lightly outside it in an uneven album.

Exclaim!

The album is frustrating, with no middle ground, and the strengths don't quite make up for the weaknesses.

‘Cry Pretty’ shines in its most raw moments and it slips when it fears it will alienate part of her demographic.

Carrie Underwear releases Cry Pretty. I will not cry pretty today.

1. Cry Pretty- Good (The verses were boring)
2. Ghosts On the Stereo- Good (Chorus is uninteresting, but the guitars.......)
3. Low- Great (Guitar jingle to ROCK OH YEAH)
4. Backsliding- Great (Did Carrie just attempt RnB and do nice?)
5. Southbound- Meh (It's fine I guess)
6. That Song That We Used To Make Love To- Good (What was that noise in the beginning)
7. Drinking Alone- Great (Catchy)
8. The Bullet- Great (This is ... read more

Começa minimamente interessante, mas, sem muita demora, vai para o mesmo lugar comum de Carrie Underwood. Minhas reviews para os álbuns dela serão sempre iguais, então não há muito o que dizer aqui. Único adendo é que tava jurando que era álbum do início dos anos 2010 por causa dessa capa estilo Kesha na época que usava o $, mostrando que até o conceito é datado.
