    Perfection. Carly Rae Legend came for our throats with this one. Not sure if it’s better than EMOTION, but it doesn’t need to be. This was worth the 4 year wait. Pop music that is so unrelentingly pop that it’s basically niche. Love it.

Fans of 70s, 80s, and 90s pop will find a thoughtful modern take. And fans of CRJ will find an album that continues to showcase her songwriting and penchant for expressing emotion in ways that are relatable and kind of a bit incredible

    After having an album as flawless and critically acclaimed as Emotion, and with having albums that were quite subpar in her early career, it was easy to get nervous about what Dedicated would provide. With earlier released tracks Now That I Found You and No Drug Like Me having more of a stereotypical radio pop song sound, expectations weren't settled. Although, after the full albumAfter having an album as flawless and critically acclaimed as Emotion, and with having albums that were quite subpar in her early career, it was easy to get nervous about what Dedicated would provide. With earlier released tracks Now That I Found You and No Drug Like Me having more of a stereotypical radio pop song sound, expectations weren't settled. Although, after the full album release, things aligned perfectly in Carly's favour and any anxiety present was settled.

    The tracks previously mentioned do fit in perfectly well when the rest of the album is realised. It's a similar idea to I Really Like You fronting Emotion. It may be better for radio impact, but not for critical eye until the theme shines through. Carly didn't explore a brand new topic for her songs, but why pick a new lyrical topic when you have one that is so vast and mysterious. Love is something that Carly knows well, and everyone else knows it well too. Relatability is one of the keys to great pop. Want You In My Room is perfectly 80s reminiscent for enthusiastic room cleaning. Too Much is emotionally raw, a rhythmic rainfall and incredibly catchy. For Sure is a great 14th track to settle the album down with, as vocals simmer at just the right length to let drums and elephant noises leave the listener at peace. I haven't heard a pop album this good since Emotion, and I can't wait to see what Carly does next.

    Carly Rae Jepsen is a master in crafting pop songs into near perfect works of art that never age. Dedicated is by far her strongest project, even topping her 2015 classic Emotion. Following Carly’s music is a religion that only the dedicated (no pun intended) passionately practice.

    Pure pop perfection, as expected. If there is one thing Carly knows how to do best, it's to make countless nostalgic bops for all of us. Standouts like "Julien" and "Too Much" shape the sound of one of the best records of the year so far, if not the best. While EMOTION was even better, there are hardly any faults to report on Dedicated's part. Plus, the amazing cover art doesn't hurt either!

    One of the most pleasant album to hear this year. This 70s and 80s pop vibes makes a great environment to enjoy it

    Eu fiquei com muito medo da Carly ficar presa ao "Call me Maybe" (essa música parece ser um plano infinito na sua carreira, mas ela se mostra além disso - já conseguindo espantar este fato em Emotion). Algumas faixas são lineares instrumentalmente falando, outras apresentam um excelente arranjo (é o caso de Right Words Wrong Time). No conjunto enredo x instrumento é um bom álbum.

    I can't believe she managed to top E-MO-TION but she did... not a single bad song.

    I was really afraid after Emotion if Carly would turn out another album as great, but she really did not disappoint! Amazing production, I feel like she really stepped up her lyrics, and she delivered a bunch of new favourite songs from her.

    Pop perfection, the way only Carly Rae Jepsen is able to deliver. She has proven herself once again as a really really really really really good popstar that should be on top where she belongs.

    An instant classic. For Sure is an instant standout. Also every of her single shows that classic CRJ but at the same time very refreshing sounds apart from those broody, R'n'B tinged pop from recent female pop stars

    talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    There could be an argument that a couple of edits to make the track listing shorter would have resulted in an even more effective album. However, this is easily one of the best pop albums of the year as it is: one that’s unlikely to be bettered unless a certain Ms Swift really pulls it out of the bag.

    Dedicated isn’t a perfect album--it’s overlong and occasionally concedes too much to chart tastes to be interesting. But by the time Jepsen takes a bow following bonus track “Party For One,” you’re reminded once again of her generosity, of all the space she’s cleared for strength and weakness, for personal epiphanies and communal release.

    Dedicated is good, but it doesn’t whirl with the same destructive force; in that sense, it is Carly Rae’s first genuine failure in a decade.
