CRITIC REVIEWS
100
It’s more than just a great little collection of songs, it’s a young woman’s journey, from her teens into her twenties. It’s laying everything out in the open so she’s untouchable.
100
‘Immunity’ is an album to burrow into and become resident in its songs. It’s a comforter that wraps itself around you when you’re feeling low and a resilient reminder that there are brighter times ahead.
83
Immunity highlights her vulnerabilities while showcasing the full range of her formidable strength as a producer and songwriter.
82
For all intents and purposes Clairo’s debut album, Immunity proves to be everything that people who’ve watched her ascent could hope for.
80
The album is steeped in warm acoustics juxtaposed by austere observations about life and love.
80
On her debut album, the young viral star moves beyond the lo-fi bedroom-pop of her early recordings and into a restrained, detailed style of songwriting all her own.
80
Immunity is so much more than the sad girl indie of Clairo's past.
80
With its dream-pop leanings, Clairo's soft voice, and the indie sensibilities of Rostam Batmanglij, Immunity exudes a cool composure that belies its problems.
80
‘Immunity’ is a powerful statement. Unflinchingly honest and sonically diverse, it sees Clairo pair emotionally resonant lyricism with infectious melody to craft a multifaceted record.
80
Pretty Girl’s bruised naivety was charming but would have grated over numerous similar tracks. Thankfully, Clairo impressively broadens her sound on this strongly written debut album.
80
On Immunity, the relatable charm of Clairo’s songwriting lives in a bold new world — much bigger than just a bedroom.
75
Clairo’s Immunity is a mood-centric pop album that never sacrifices the fundamental unit of the song.
73
Immunity has just enough unforgettable glimmers to justify Clairo’s buzz.
70
Clairo's stylistic variability sets her apart from these artists however, and while some more time and resources wouldn't be unwelcome on a sophomore effort, Immunity confirms she's one to watch.
70
Immunity is no less convincing, and even more compelling.
65
A bit of gestation might have led to more experimentation and vivid colors in an album with a handful of standouts but also tracks that tend to bleed indistinguishably into each other.
60
What she loses here in charm, she makes up for in lyrical depth and an enveloping sense of comfort, if drowsy melodies tend to waft by rather than stick around.
60
Her winning debut ranges intriguingly beyond wistful bedroom pop.
60
IMMUNITY is not a record that will speak for it’s generation but it is definitely full of well crafted pop music and performed with authority by Clairo.
50
Immunity sometimes feels middle-of-the-road, as if she’s tried to outrun her teenage affectations and overshot slightly.
50
Ultimately, Cottrill's clear songwriting focus gets bogged down with mellow, listless ballads that sound pleasant—and not much else.
50
Immunity is at its best when Clairo manages to find power in simplicity and subtlety, which happens only some of the time.
40
Calculated or not, there's very little that's stirring about Immunity.

I had the luxury of seeing Clairo a few weeks back. She came out in a fake tattoo long-sleeve shirt and denim jeans in 95-degree weather. Her dyed red hair was fading back to its natural mousy brown. It looked a like a costume; she embodied the twenty-year-old attempting to sneak into the bar with a Fake ID. I won't lie; my head was filled with assumptions about what I was about to see. As the music swelled and she began to perform, I found those thoughts dissipated almost immediately. While ... read more
Are you all intentionally giving her low score?
«Immunity» is a wonderful ambitious album that doesn’t transcends its borders, which is very good — she leaves the listener in one state of pensive sadness, but certainly not in a state of boredom.
The EP had character at least, "Pretty Girl" felt like it was recorded on a 5 dollar microphone, and that was at least kind of interesting. This has nothing. This is an empty void of sound.
these songs sound really smooth and and... almost quiet in a weird way, the lyrics on here can get a bit corny but most of it is really great with lots of good meanings and messages, the production of this album is impeccable and clairo has some really nice vocals, however some of the songs are dragged out and the outros to all the songs are really bland and boring, the chorus' are really not much of a switch up from the verses, not saying they're bad chorus' but they could use some work. ... read more
Alewife: 8.5/10. This track is very touching and pretty much the only track on this album to have more of an emotional impact. The lyrics are very casual, but the instrumental is very pretty and soft, fitting the vibes of the message. It is just a short, sweet song, and I like the vibes.
Impossible: 9/10. This song is very pretty especially the part when she sings the "And I know we're not the same as we were..." part. I like the melodies, I like the synth that comes in at 2:33, I ... read more
