CRITIC REVIEWS

80
AllMusic

If Romance is an album about Cabello feeling loved and seen by someone else, it's just as much about her seeing and understanding herself as an artist.

80
Rolling Stone

She discovers new ways to give her artistry a new edge.

80
The Independent
The Fifth Harmony alumni carefully avoids being swallowed whole by her very public relationship with Shawn Mendes on her ebullient and pleasurable second album.
67
Consequence of Sound

Romance is a solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that places growth at center-stage and keeps us wanting more without going limp.

61
Pitchfork
The pop singer’s second album captures the thrilling feelings of experiencing love, but it becomes so universalized that it blurs it out of focus.
60
NME
She’s more than capable of producing earth-shatteringly big pop tunes, but on ‘Romance’ she has attempted to expand her palette into more textured ballads.
60
Exclaim!

Romance still relies on a structure that is becoming increasingly irrelevant, which ultimately overshadows many of the album's redeemable moments.

60
The Telegraph

Romance is state-of-the-art pop yet it lacks the real romance of music made from the heart.

60
The Observer

he second Camila Cabello album, Romance, is giddy and frisky, but not to the point of nausea.

40
The Guardian
The singer’s second solo album is too heavy on the auto-tune, giving cyborg sheen to what should be heartfelt love songs.

Camila may be getting bad butterflies in her head, but this album is giving me Wicked Wasps and an aneurysm.

The vocals really ruin a lot of this

Romance had potential to be a solid sophomore album for Camila... what a shame. Shameless is a great opening track, but soon after it steers into a lifeless and dull album, with no clear purpose.

Another mediocre album. I really don't get her hype and fanbase man she isn't nothing special.

this album for sure has some great highlights but there are also many fillers
it seems to loose its momentum as the album progresses

top 3:
- used to this
- bad kind of butterflies
- should've said it

bottom 3:
- liar
- easy
- first man
