    This album is simply put, phenomenal. It's pure excessive pop and will go down as a classic 2020s dance-pop album. Definitely one of the best since Future Nostalgia. Ghost, Diamonds & Dancefloors, Get Outta My Heart and Dancing's Done are out of this world.

    I adore this album!!! Most artists would be lucky to have a single song as good as some of the worst on this record. Perfect dance pop music, and it shows that Ava Max is here to become the next big pop star. An incredible follow up to her 2020 debut, her future is as bright as a diamond on a dancefloor.

    The pop girls may want to rethink whatever it is they’re doing, as Ava Max has just proven the pop titan she is.

Instead of trying some naively ambitious attempt at reinventing pop music, Ava effortlessly demonstrates her unparalleled mastery over the genre, giving her peers a run for their money.

    Despite the lack of commercial success, Diamonds & Dancefloors will go down in pop music history as the deep cut of dance, a reminder that mastery certainly beats innovation in many cases.

    Tracks such as Million Dollar Baby, Hold Up (Wait a Minute), Diamonds & Dancefloors, One of Us, and Dancing’s Done showcase Ava’s playful yet powerful approach to pop, two things many contemporary pop artists seem to lack.

    All in all, Diamonds & Dancefloors is a demonstration in pop mastery, and should certainly be counted among the dance pop bibles.    … Expand

    One of the best pop albums since Dua Lipa’s Future nostalgia. All the songs could be single. The lyrics are very pop, catchy and dancing. There are some really good ones like Get out of my heart, and Last night on earth that could be clearly hits.

The theme song Diamonds and Dancefloors gives me a My head and My heart vibes, along with a very 90s eurodance vibe. This one is to dance crying, and that summerizes a lot the vibe of the album that is, you’re felling sad bout breaking up and the dancefloor is where you’re expressing that and putting everything stuff out. It’s cohesive, pop, dancing, lyrically catchy and well produced. My favorite pop album until now. Love Ava.… Expand

    Definitely took me multiple listens to see it's full potential. Each track is special in its own way. Have to say, a much more cohesive album compared to her debut album "Heaven & Hell". This one is more fun. The production is amazing, vocals delivered. Although the lyrics are not as deep as some would want, but who says they have to be super complex?

    Pure pop we needed, amazing danceable music that has no skips. Not revolutionary or groundbreaking but we don’t always need that. Sometimes we just need pure pop to dance, have a good time, and cry. This is a massive improvement from Heaven & Hell and really proves who she is as a pop artist

    My expectations were not high for this album but I was blown away. A really great dance-pop breakup album! I’ve seen some people say this has “ no personality ” but it’s literally about what she went though during her breakup and how she’s gonna overcome it. I’m extremely excited for the deluxe version!

    It is actually an evolution from what her debut album was. It really shows what you're expecting: diamonds and dancefloors when listening to the album. 'Million Dollar Baby', 'Ghost', 'Get Outta My Heart', 'Last Night On Earth', 'Dancing's Done' really show how a pop album should be done. Waiting for the deluxe edition!

    A solid enough collection of songs, each with a tight synthpop beat and strong vocal performance, but it isn’t necessarily a career-maker.

    Deftly executed and ideal for repeat listens, Diamonds & Dancefloors makes it two-for-two for Max's catalog, delivering on the promise of her debut and pushing her even further toward the top of the early-2020s pop pantheon.
