CRITIC REVIEWS

80
AllMusic

Considering for a moment that a second album's existence was in limbo for years, Phoenix could have opted to coast by on its harrowing backstory alone. And still, Ora delivered a confident pop gem that stands tall on its own.

80
NME

Largely ... Rita Ora’s album is everything you’d want it to be: endlessly fun, stuffed full of brilliantly left-field production and ear-worm choruses.

80
Clash
The album - which comes after numerous setbacks as far as label and producers are concerned - is a nostalgic yet refreshing collection of songs that oscillates seamlessly between upbeat pop offerings to raw pieces which showcases the 27-year-old’s songwriting skills.
80
The Independent

For the most part ... Phoenix is worth the wait – whether you were doing so with indifference or bated breath.

70
The Line of Best Fit

Ultimately, Phoenix is not so much a comeback record as it is the sound of an artist who’s always persevered.

60
The Observer

Buoyant and gleaming, Phoenix bubbles with soaring, EDM-lite beats and Ora’s wispy-powerful vocals – albeit with generic lyrics about love and fame.
