Critic Reviews
Show All-
Variety
Cabello takes cues from her friend Taylor Swift in working in a distinctly more confessional mode, but still has bops and blockbusters in mind.
-
The Guardian
The singer’s second solo album is too heavy on the Auto-Tune, giving cyborg sheen to what should be heartfelt love songs
-
All Music
Camila Cabello's sophomore effort Romance feels like: a record as bursting with ecstatic emotion and erotic desire as the exuberant delirium of having just fallen in love.
-
Headline Planet
Camila Cabello’s New Album “Romance” Is A Personal, Honest, Captivating Look At Love
-
Uproxx
This is a perfectly acceptable early entry into what will surely be a monumental canon, but when Cabello gets past her love affair with romance, she’ll be a much more loveable star.
-
Vulture
Romance is a concept album almost too tuned into its concept; tellingly, the songs that stray from the path are the ones where things heat up.
-
NME
She’s more than capable of producing earth-shatteringly big pop tunes, but on ‘Romance’ she has attempted to expand her palette into more textured ballads. She’s more comfortable in the former territory, but here is an artist unafraid to explore terrain that is, to her, less well-known.
-
Knox News
It would have been rewarding if “Romance” had as many elements of her Cuban roots as her 2018 debut “Camila,” but the new release is more steeped in artifice than truth as the 22-year-old builds her artistic persona.
-
Entertainment News Boom
“Romance” is a record that bumps her up a level as an artist, without trying to advance her into maturity too fast. Those closing tracks do set you up, anyway, for larger leaps.
-
Independent
Occasionally overproduced, it has a tendency to flatten her voice with unnecessary processing, morphing it too often into a gloopy gurgle.
-
Daily Dot
The pop songstress returns with a more mature, experimental, and expansive effort.
-
Stereogum
Romance is a lot easier to like than to love.
-
Consequence of Sound
A solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that keeps us wanting more
-
Pitchfork
The pop singer’s second album captures the thrilling feelings of experiencing love, but it becomes so universalized that it blurs it out of focus.
-
The Pop Break
Overall, Romance is a compelling album that still leaves a bit to be desired.

Chicago Tribune
"Romance" is a record that bumps her up a level as an artist, without trying to advance her into maturity too fast. Those closing tracks do set you up, anyway, for larger leaps to come.

Celeb Mix
We are completely blown away by the poetic quality that this record possesses and the variety in Camila’s range we had the chance to listen to.

Vinyl Chapters
With long high notes to short and deeper low notes, her recognisably large vocal range is really shown off throughout this album as her talents keep growing.
-
Meaww
The spills of cultural influences seep through, wearing multiple masks of love and the album is a clearer view of the tastes and influences of Cabello herself.
-
The Time
efficient pop that maximises the froth
-
Young Post
It’s by no means perfect, but Romance is sure to be an album that many people will truly love.
-
The Edge
Surprising, fun and vocally impressive, Camila Cabello's second solo album is distinctive and impactful; an album perfect on repeat before a big night out.
-
Daily Nebraskan
Many songs on “Romance” are an undeniable ode to her relationship with Mendes, but the entire album speaks to Cabello’s understanding of the stages of losing and finding love.
-
Comm Media
Cabello knows how to be relatable in her songs, to be able to make connections with her listeners. It is undeniable that Cabello’s career will just go up from here and how she is able to hold her own in the music industry, as a solo artist.
-

This is an slight improvement with some catchy songs, even though it’s more or less of the same. —
-
The Chronicle
“Romance” is an outstanding piece of work that surely is one of the best pop creations of the year.
-

‘Romance’ feels forgettable and overwritten.

Wrong Mog
The second Camila Cabello album, Romance, is giddy and frisky, but not to the point of nausea – thanks, mostly, to the Cuban-American superstar’s charisma
-

At 22, Camila Cabello has managed to create two albums that are simply hard to forget. If you are a fan of music that is dynamic and high-octane, you will love “Romance” like it’s one of your kids.

Riff Magazine
Romance remains as classy as it is youthful. By exploring the many experiences that led her to this point, she uses personal and universal stories to tell the love story she’s currently living out.
-
Rolling Stone
The singer’s second album finds her deepening her writing and further bringing out her Latin roots.
-
Exclaim
Romance still relies on a structure that is becoming increasingly irrelevant, which ultimately overshadows many of the album's redeemable moments.
-
Gay Times
On new album Romance, Camila Cabello effortlessly blends glossy American production and hooks with the current Latin-pop wave she helped usher in.
