CRITIC REVIEWS
85
Overall, he mostly avoids the pitfalls that were potentially threatening this release by pushing himself to continue growing, resulting in an improvement from his last official album Scorpion.
80
Across 21 songs and almost 90 minutes, Aubrey Graham goes into great detail about how talented, wealthy and desirable he is, and why we should pity him.
72
CLB is a commercial juggernaut that sounds incredible but says very little.
70
For his part, Drake is rapping at a new level throughout CLB, and it’s worth noting that, as bland as it is by now, these are some of his best tough-guy raps which, perhaps depending on your level of toxic masculinity, is a good thing.
67
There’s nothing groundbreaking here. And honestly, groundbreaking doesn’t seem too much to ask from the man who calls himself the Champagne Papi.
66
Drake’s sixth album sounds good but feels labored. Melancholic and often incisive, it becomes an overlong and very familiar journey through the life, mind, and heart of Drake.
60
CLB is a serviceable enough Drake album, but he has a number of prior projects that showcase his dynamic rap abilities and frenemy quarrels at a much higher calibre.
60
Drake took three years out, enough time to go out and experience new things, change lifestyle and come back re-energised. Alas, the Pregnant Woman Emoji album is more of the same at its core.
60
Personally, sonically and thematically, Drake seems resistant to change.
60
A lot of CLB feels rehashed, but the way it captures Drake at an awkward junction in his life is intriguing.
60
As it stands now, the album is an overlong, undercooked, and cliched listen that will no doubt appeal to the Drake fans who can't get enough of him, but will leave anyone looking for something new sadly out of luck.
50
Certified Lover Boy is polished, well-executed and yet is completely devoid of ambition or memorable moments.
50
The new album is like watching the eighth season of a sitcom and growing hyper-aware of all the recycled jokes and actors' laugh lines.
40
Certified Lover Boy is a distended confessional wherein Drake tries to protect his reputation and reaffirm his image as a sweet-talking power player.
40
On his sixth studio album, Drizzy sounds jaded and dull, treading water while he once again whines about women and fame.
40
Certified Lover Boy’s greatest crime is just how bland and boring it is.
40
He has fallen into a deep complacency, and it’s unlikely that he’ll be shaken out of it until his sales decrease, making this yet another unimpressive, tedious release.
40
On his sprawling latest offering, the rapper manages a few strong moments amid the navel-gazing and posturing.
You knock up women, then get into legal bullshit behind closed doors instead of taking any kind of responsibility for your assholery unless Pusha T calls you out for being a pussy, and then have the nerve to put pregnant women emojis on your album cover as some sort of twisted act of pride in your shitty behavior? Go fuck yourself, Drake. I'm not listening to your stupid album. Your music bores the shit out of me anyways.
Drake continues his downfall on Certified Lover Boy, a compilation of ultra comfortable songs that brings nothing special.
Is it possible to master the art of sass as much as Drake? It's been a few years now that the Toronto native has had this status of artist as much inescapable as irritable, because we must admit that Drake has raked up so many records that it is enough to put him on a featurings to make the sales figures of a frontman jump. When Drake proclaims himself the "Certified ... read more

“Said that you a lesbian, girl me too, ayy” - Aubrey Drake Graham
Certified Lover Boy somehow manages to be 1 hour and 27 minutes of Drake’s most boring, lazy, and least interesting music ever. And unlike his other albums, there are like virtually no highlights that I can see myself going back to that make this listening experience any better.
