CRITIC REVIEWS

Entertainment Weekly

Even though Wonder is his fourth studio album, it often feels like the sound of an artist still discovering himself in real time.

AllMusic

It's not so much that Wonder feels stiff or stuffy, as if Mendes were writing songs for an older version of himself. Rather, Mendes attempts a variety of styles and sounds while also expanding his emotional range.

Rolling Stone
The sensitive pop heartthrob makes romance sound sweet and scary on his fourth album.

Clash
Overall, the record is ambitious as it aims to explore genres, stories and showcase Mendes artistic evolution all at once. It doesn’t always succeed, at times feeling too shallow for it to be as impactful as Mendes intended it to be. But when it succeeds, there’s no flaw to be picked out and for that it’s worth a listen.

Pitchfork
The pop heartthrob’s lovestruck fourth album comes across like your friend who just got into a relationship and won’t shut up about it: You’re happy for them and also tremendously bored.

The Guardian
Mendes has a good voice and is occasionally inventive – here’s hoping he has a future beyond soundtracking weddings.

The Independent
Throughout this record, Mendes’s savvy songwriting team are harking back to retro influences to suit the vintage ice cream parlour shades of the singer's shirts.

Wow, I'm liking this way more than I probably should.

I didn't like his music before. He seems like a harmless guy, but his music is just so overplayed. Stitches and Treat You Better were so bland and uninteresting, and of course, BETTER THAN HE CAN, amirite? Up top. And even don't get me started on Senorita, I had a month-long camp in Australia, and Senorita played in the aux every night in campfires. And ooh la la la, I can't ooh la la last any longer in this existence if I hear that song ... read more

é um álbum que tem ótimas músicas como Wonder, Higher, Monster... mas também tem péssimas músicas, acho bizarro o quanto tem músicas que se destacam muito e tem músicas que são completamente esquecíveis, como The Christmas Song que nem deveria tá no álbum ou Can't Imagine.

Porém, as que eu citei no ótimas são as minhas favoritas e ouvirei sempre. Gostei bastante dessas.
