AllMusic

Although the album is a change from the tougher, more hardened fare that fans might expect, Bebe makes a stronger impression than its predecessors and has enough high points to further support Rexha's position as a masterful pop songwriter capable of churning out the hits. With Bebe, she comes another step closer to a fully realized vision that could pull her into her own true spotlight moment.

Pop singer Bebe Rexha’s Bebe sounds like she has thrown some caution to the wind and made music that she genuinely enjoys. It’s also fun to listen to.

Bebe is a genial, trite and innocuous listen, and hopefully, given time, the singer will be able to more convincingly develop her abilities and stake her claim to a variant of pop that doesn't begin from quite so generic a starting point.

Bebe Rexha is like a fictional popstar character you’d see a young adult Netflix show. Like these *sound* like real songs but they’re clearly not.

Feels Good!" that dropped the same day, but when you hear good, rich, moving, rhythmically satisfying, and exhilarating disco or dance music, you will PHYSICALLY feel it if it so allows you to dance. This...is ... read more

Ainda que Bebe seja um nome que pense ser talentoso, tendo se mostrado como uma boa compositora ao compor para outros artistas, seus álbuns nunca mostraram todo o potencial da artista. 'Expectations' e 'Better Mistakes' traziam consigo algumas das músicas pop mais genéricas e sem substância de seus respectivos anos, tanto sonoramente, quanto liricamente. Entretanto seu novo registro vem a mudar um pouco este cenário. Em 'Bebe', Rexha mostra uma ... read more

For listening to a Bebe Rexha album for the first time, I’ll admit, this was actually so much better than I hoped for it to be. A few days prior to when I had to review this album, I heard songs from her other albums and they didn’t really leave the best impression on me. “Baby I’m Jealous” & “I’m a Mess” ranged from kinda mid to I’m really NOT feeling whatever this is, so I’ll admit that it was kinda nerve-wracking to press play. ... read more
