    Love this album from the top to bottom. 100% recommended. His best LP to date and some of his best sounding work lies in this record. There are almost no skips on this record.

    Honestly, this is so soulless and gimmicky. I don’t know why I was expecting anything else, but damn this is garbage.

    One of the most medicore pop albums of the decade, CHARLIE's 12 songs all tumble into the pile of genericity that powers this record to the end. It definitely lacks in personality and originality too. These are simply songs that would be played on the radio once or twice and then put away for good because all they are is songs with a tune and that's it. There's no heart here!

    Honestly, this is one of the best modern albums to date, and the fact that Mr. Charlie Puth produced it on his own continues to amaze me.

I think they just became new fans haha!

As a middle-aged individual, it makes me wanna get back up and dance. You bring LIFE, Charlie... Don't forget about it! Thanks for being you and making such amazing music for your fans and the general public to enjoy. I can't say this enough, but you are saving the music industry. Keep it up!… Expand

    I will never understand how someone with such complex knowledge of the music industry, music theory, and perfect pitch can make music like this. Most of the time, it didn’t even seem like he was trying to make a song. This album lacks any sort of real depth lyrically and musically.

I’m a big fan of calling things I’m not a fan of mediocre, but this was beyond mediocrity, this was just laziness. The record felt rushed, and I really don’t think it should’ve been considering how long it’s been since his last album. Maybe Charlie should focus on the quality of music, instead of getting a viral moment on TikTok.… Expand

    Such an amazing album. Songs are about personal experience but you can relate to them in other ways. The melodies are masterpiece, every song it's unique in it's own way

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've just listened to "CHARLIE", this album sounds amazing, so fresh and new! All the 12th tracks on the album Charlie Puth produced himself and this is what he thinks about his 3rd album: "I call these 12 songs a story that I was living through. I look back at it, thinking, I can't believe I ever let myself get that low, but at the same time maybe I've made a great album, because I do feel this is my best album so far. This would be my first album if I had a time machine." So everyone just listen to this album, immerse yourself in the world of beautiful music and enjoy!… Expand

    Phenomenal album, absolute game changer from his previous albums. I loved Voicenotes, but this is something totally new and refreshing! This album totally keeps you on your toes the whole time, and it's difficult trying to choose favourites when the entire album is right there! Exceptional album.

    This album is so him. Him being himself, taking us, the audience through every song before release just felt so personal. He did not disappoint AT ALL! He took the 4 year break and bounced back bigger than ever before. I am so proud that I stood by the building stages of this album because honestly this turned out to be extremely beautiful and i don't think anybody would deny that.This album is so him.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. CHARLIE is 100% the most authentic version of Charlie Puth. This album makes you feel relatable to the real world, everything you go through in life you’re not alone. So many people may experience the same thing.. Charlie Puth made this album for people so they can relate to, along side the real story behind each song and what Puth went through, the album represents a dichotomy with a little bit of a humor added up to the songs like That’s Hilarious using “HAHAHA” .. meaning that you can always find peace and positive aspect of things even in the worst situations meaning everything’s gonna be fine in the end you just need to be patient. Putting ugly emotions along with beautiful piano layers, Charlie’s angelic voice which sometimes turns into a angry heartbroken dude who feel like he has lost everything and his life is ending but at the same time getting things out of his chest by singing his emotions to the microphone, making art out of his miserable, most vulnerable uncomfortable periods! All I wanna say is if you’re looking for a music to relate to, CHARLIE is your best choice !… Expand

    Charlie's a master in melody making. He knows how to make a song that will get stuck in your mind all day long. I was impatientenly waiting for this album, it didn't disappoint. There is no one single skip song, but my fav is definitely Loser which in my opinion is one of his best songs overall. When you're sad I'm sad is also absolutely beautiful.

    All songs were fantastic.The piano melody in ‘Tears on my piano’ was something that made it unique from all the other songs .The only song I have mixed feelings about is when you’re sad I’m sad but rest all are good

    Charlie didn't discover the wheel or create anything innovative, but he certainly did something enjoyable.
    It's a nice pop, but it doesn't have a lot of peak moments (at least not elation). Light Switch is the best.
    The production is, as it should be, the best part. After all, he is liked for a reason.

    While some of the songs slip into genericity, such as the forgettable There’s a First Time For Everything, others are 80s-inspired, synth-led earworms. Smells Like Me stands out as one of the album’s highlights, a masterclass in pop writing with an ultra-memorable hook.

    Charlie offers hope to both the singer and to sympathetic listeners, closing this very relatable chapter of his life with optimism hard-won through this catchy pop package.
