CRITIC REVIEWS
90
4 continues the Beyoncé tradition of making amazingly catchy, anthemic records with some of her best songs to date.

Her voice is the best it has ever been. Her music is the best it has ever been.

4 might be her most impressive collection yet.
60
It is for the most part a fun listen at worst and for her legion of fans it will probably translate to much more.

Where this album should be fresh and current, it sounds tired, repetitive and uninspired.
One of Beyoncé's most fun and vocally energetic albums featuring a classic and delicious R&B sound that marks a moment of transition in the singer's discography.

O trabalho mais injustiçado da discografia de Beyoncé e o início de uma grandiosa fase na carreira da Queen Bey. Traz uma evolução musical absurda em relação ao disco antecessor e mostra a Beyoncé em seu auge musical até então. Destaque para as canções influenciadas pela black music dos anos 1980 e 1990.
Nota: 81 - great
Favorite tracks: Best Thing I Ever Had, Party, Love On Top e Countdown.

Beyoncé's 4 is an anthemic album that frankly lacks in originality, but makes up for it through style.
