Critic Reviews
Show All-
TIME
Lambert reinforces the principles underlying both Platinum and the rest of her career: feminine strength, force of personality, and command of the situation.
-
Entertainment
There’s just enough swagger to suggest that she got it wrong about her marriage to Shelton. She’s not Priscilla. She’s Elvis.

its mess and lopsided sequencing wind up appealing.

Boston Globe
album’s 16 tracks, which bounce from humid honky tonk to glossy arena stage to rustic front porch with sass and ease.

The New York Times
Her characters in these songs--are complex, self-confident and self-lacerating all at once, and most crucially, completely knowing and in on the joke.

hoe-down trilogy.

SPIN
These are small missteps on an otherwise solid outing.

RollingStone
Listening to her records is like eavesdropping in a hair salon.

TASTE of COUNTRY
Few songs cut deep lyrically, but the singer hardly plays it safe.
-
slate
It’s the work of a successful insider who remains aware that she’s an outsider by dint of sex as well as sly intellect.

she’s still the wildest risk-taking Nashville singer roaring through the back roads.

FOCUS on the 615
Miranda has a lot to say with this album, and it’s pure entertainment through and through.
-
UPROXX
She's feisty, she doesn't mince words, and she gives as good, if not better, than she gets.
-
spectrum pulse
The songwriting is less consistent, the production problems have not gone away, and it's really too long to sustain the sort of impact it wants to have.
