    That is a brilliant comeback . The pop style of Carly Rae Jepsen is so pure and comfortable. The rhythms are very creative and relaxing . Best songs are Julien and Real love

    SHE SNAPS EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! This is such a cohesive and maturing album for Carly. Some might say that EMOTION is a better album, but they are just two very different albums. This album sounds exactly like how she described it, an album that you want to clean your house to. It's not a complicated concept, and it doesn't have to be.

    Carly Rae Jepsen seems not going to put another shallow banger anymore. Ever since KISS, she detested for being put in a one-hit wonder pedestal by moving on and straying away to her own path. This album is a continuation from E•MO•TION in terms of sound, but with different mood. Dedicated shows how Carly grows as a musician.

    A pure pop album that not only does pop right, but in ways that innovate. Tracks worth listening to over and over again with little surprises here and there in the sounds she uses and lyrics she pens. Jepson writes like no one else in her genre. It’s inspiring.

    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!

    Truly a masterpiece! She’s done it again! The way she seemlessly composed a story through these 15 singles is truly a blessing on the ears.

    She luckily kept the same aesthetic going as emotion and brought back everything the gays wanted...

    I'm so thankful for the fact that Carly Rae Jepsen single-handedly invented vibrations that typically propagate as audible pressure through a transmission medium, such as a gas, liquid or solid.

    This album is way better than Emotion which is solid but has lots of fillers and is a bit generic. She's been more mature. The whole disco vintage vibe and theme is pretty enjoyable overall. The production is very special and insane. Still, there're several awkward moments. This album may not produce any hit single, but it's a fun journey as a whole.

    Carly had said that this is album is the type of music to clean your house to- now I want to clean my house all the time.

Several songs like Right Words Wrong Time and For Sure have such a nostalgic feel that just hit your soul in the right way. Every listen brings new hidden gems and a greater appreciation for her art. She proved once again that she's so much more than the Call Me Maybe girl many think she still is. She's an artist and damn good at her craft. Dedicated radiates such purity that you can't help but fall in love with it. From Julien to Party For One and every run through after it becomes clearer and clearer that in many ways, Carly is in a league of her own.… Expand

    Carly has done something that’s so hard to reach, the emotion whole project was 25 songs that you can listen from beginning to end with no skip any track. With dedicated she is making it once again, 15 tracks full of simple but sincere emotions, you can dance, jump, cry. There’s only one collaboration which shows that Carly can make an album by herself with no draw upon collaborations,Carly has done something that’s so hard to reach, the emotion whole project was 25 songs that you can listen from beginning to end with no skip any track.

    A step up from Carly’s 2015 Emotion album. Dare is say, the “grown and sexy” version we’ve all been waiting for?

    An incredible follow-up to 2015's DamnNearThePerfectPopAlbum Emotion, dedicated shows us Carly when given some space to breathe and even flex a bit. 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

    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.
