She’s released a fresh body of work that stands up with the best of her output. It isn’t perfect, but it certainly lives up to expectations, no matter how high.

As a debut album it goes over well, with a convincing display of versatility and quality songwriting that firmly establishes Mabel as a force to be reckoned with in UK pop.

As it is, you’re left with a solid, well-made pop album that occasionally hints its maker might be more interesting and individual.

Despite some over-zealous Top 40 attempts, High Expectations is a well-rounded pop record.

‘High Expectations’ is a solid album, with some extraordinarily good pop songs on it, yet it feels like something’s missing.

Ultimately, High Expectations trades in well-appointed, British-tilting genericness that ticks Spotify playlist boxes, promising party vibes and availability, then wallowing in non-specific romantic dismay.

After a decent record, released in 2017, Dua Lipa gave us a weak follow-up album, this record sounds like a Spotify playlist and it’s not that catchy, there’s a lot o songs that sounds like what she’s done before (Don’t Call Me Up is New Rules 2.0). such a huge letdown
Decent pop effort from an artist I quietly admired a few years back. This one has a long winded run time for a pop album (clocking in at almost an hour) that overstays its welcome. Few solid tracks here, specially the singles, but overall, this doesn't live to what the record title is going for.
- It is her first full studio album, Diego. Be nice.
- THIS IS LIKE TIFFANY YOUNG + HYUNA BUT ON CRACK

Oh, hey. "Lucky (Interlude)" is nice.
And "Ring Ring" too, if you're someone who enjoys what I call "marketing pop". You know what it means.

This record should be called LOW EXPECTATIONS to let people know there's nothing interesting on it. Mabel's debut album is similar to another 101 records by 2010's pop girlies like Dua Lipa, MØ, Zara Larsson, Anne-Marie, etc... Besides that, the concept is pretty much confusing, those interludes seem lost and meaningless, also the songwriting is basic and superficial. In other words: Forgettable!
