Critic Reviews

PopMatters

All said and done, Tattoos is a pleasant album with some bright moments as well as some average ones. One of the pitfalls of modern pop is consistently sounding distinct and fresh, something that Derülo is a victim of.

The Guardian

Derulo's clubby hooks are infernally catchy, and he adds a touch of freshness with buoyant forays into rock and salsa.

AllMusic
Perhaps Derulo has grown as a person since his previous album, but it's hard to call this one a step forward.

FACT Magazine

Tattoos is a disjointed hotchpotch of incompatible tones, styles and sentiment – a product of today’s collectivised producer system whereby long-players are constructed like playlists.

Yep, it can get more corny

This is the worst Jason Derulo album. Is ''Future History'' but more corny and dumb. And i don't know what's up with Derulo and Trumpets in general, but these two doesn't go well. This is a literal non-album.

2.8/10

Most Acceptable: The Other Side, Vertigo, The dumbness of Trumpets
Least Acceptable: Tattoo, Fire

Keeping it funky, this ended up being his best project to date, which is very unfortunate. He took the Chris Brown imitation to the next level by fully embracing the bad-boy persona, and he succeeded with it, especially on the single "Talk Dirty".

The album maintains this hyper-sexual character throughout, one that's honestly hard to believe in, and that's probably for the best. It mimics its influences so perfectly that it almost doesn't feel like he wants you to ... read more

Listened this just for finding the worst pop album as posible. This wasn't bad enought for this title but this is not good. Really decent pop album, Jason got such good vocals but he's writting skills are meh
