Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Flooded with winning moments, even if it lacks the personality of great pop records.
-
The Guardian
Lack of individuality seeps into Jepsen’s music.
-
sputnik music
It's one of those rare pop albums that does nearly everything right.
-
Pretty Much Amazing
Emotion is so good, it’s formed sky-high expectations out of thin air.
-
Entertainment
Her effervescent follow-up [is] an ’80s-inflected collection of sweetly breezy dance-pop baubles.
-
Drowned in Sound
It's so proud to be pop and hopefully this'll make others realise it's never a guilty pleasure to enjoy songs that make you happy.
-
AV/Music
One of 2015’s most interesting, effervescent records.

CoS
Whether she gets what she wants or she goes home broken, Emotion finds life in the wanting itself.

musicOHM
Emotion succeeds on its own terms, arguably remaining truer to the spirit of the era.

cokemachineglow
Album of stellar pop music.

The Line of Best Fit
Has all the tenets of a successful pop record, but feels more cultivated than previous work.
-
NME
Packed with frighteningly relatable songs about love, longing and heartbreak.
-
RollingStone
Almost every track is like a bouncy castle: fun, certainly, but not made for long-term stays.
-
SPIN
This is music for flash mobs, a valentine to crowdsourcing, and a public engagement proposal to the universe.
-
NOW
For all its unexpected sounds and catchy choruses, Emotion falters in its lyrical blandness.
-
The New York Times
Full of excellent songs that seem to give up about two-thirds of the way through.
-
popMATTERS
Clearly trying too hard to make the same genius pop moments that Kiss churned them out with effortless flair.
-
NY Daily News
The music sounds inescapably chintzy.

Under The Radar
A record that takes itself too seriously to be taken seriously by anyone else.

Superlative collection of synth-indebted, beat-heavy dance pop.

Northern Transmissions
A glossy pop record that is defined by its hooks.
-
A Diverse Sound
It’s catchy, mature at times yet still self-aware enough of its own nature that it never takes itself too seriously.

The Arts Desk
There are big chunks of this record that sound as though they’ve been machine-assembled on a production line.
-
The Music
Never becomes overbearing, remaining the escapist and carefree it's supposed to be.

Definitely takes the crown for most innovative pop record.
-
Nicholas Jennings
A sugar rush of ’80s-style synth sounds with some refreshing hints of sadness.

Maybe one of the best pop albums of the year.

The Oregonian
Examines young love from all its heady sides.

SA Music Scene
Pop ballads that ought to go down in musical history as some of the best pop music created in the 21st century.

Emotion stands strong, showing Jepson has matured and grown as an artist who still has a great voice and knack for fun, emotional pop music.
-

"Emotion" proves Jepsen is the real deal.

Returning to 80s territory.
