Critic Reviews

The Cougar Chronicle
Her voice also sounds better than ever, and the EP’s pacing is good, as each song hovers at or below the three-minute mark and the entire record clocks in at under 20 minutes. While Revelación may not be a total revelation, musically speaking, the EP is still a solid project that those who are a fan of Gomez or of Latin music may want to listen to.

NME
The pop star waited a decade to release this Spanish-language record, which sees her swap all-out pop belters for tasteful R&B and reggaeton.

EW
Still, diverging from the familiar so soon after hitting a new peak is a risk, but Revelación proves that Gomez is up to the task — and a far more versatile musician than she's been given credit for.

Vinyl Chapters
Confidence and versatility are the best two words to describe this EP. Selena Gomez celebrates her Latina heritage, whilst adding her distinctive style to the sound and enhancing it through collaborations and poignant lyricism.

Commedia
“Revelación” is arguably Gomez’s best work to date. It’s an EP full of Latin pop bangers that are fun, sexy and confident. Although the singer has displayed interest in retiring from music,“Revelación” shows that Gomez is capable of artistic growth and pushing herself to try something new.

The Red Ledger
I believe that this EP is the change that pop music culture needs, and I predict that it will be a great hit on all radios. Although it took Selena 11 years, it was much worth the wait and I hope she continues to produce music like this. I believe that you do not need to be Spanish speaking to listen to this EP because as I have mentioned many times throughout this review, her voice speaks for the passion and power she is trying to express. A+

AllMusic
Together they craft a hypnotic blend of alternative R&B, Latin pop, and reggaeton, framing Gomez's intimate vocals in textured synths, dense bass grooves, and clipped electronic beats. Gomez has grown significantly as a performer since her early Disney years and Revelación further underlines that transformation.
-
Her Campus
Navigating a new language and sound in just 19 minutes, Gomez discovers a new facet of her capabilities. In a new genre, Gomez sounds at home and triumphant. It will be interesting to see whether this is a one-time venture or a permanent shift for the pop star but regardless, this project is an indication that Gomez is capable of taking on the terrain.

Revelación may not be the world-shaking revelation Selena Gomez hoped for, but it is fun. And quite frankly, we could all use a bit of that.
