    Álbum mostra pouca coerência entre as faixas presentes, contento pouca coesão em quesito a melodia dos mesmos. Porém com boa produção em todas as músicas do álbum, o que não o deixa coerente.

    Amazing! All the songs have a high quality and Dua's vocals shine even though there is not a real ballad in this album, which is very upbeat and fun. She takes elements from songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s but they sound fresh and are even lyrically interesting. Congratulations Dua!

    Well producted, exciting and fresh. It’s smart because try to combine what the young like to listen and what people from others generations liked when trey were young. There is no bad song but some of them have different vibes so you may like some very much and don’t add in your playlist others. After all its a very dancing album with good lyrics and a lot of good surprises.

    Electrifying, Magnetic, Frenetically Dope!!! Dua Lipa’s mature is undeniable. This Girl knows what can come and shoots it in your face. She takes you a nostalgic pop disco impulse but grabs you by the neck and takes you up to her spaceship and doesn’t release you but beyond the middle of the album with a sensation of: let me out, but at the same time keep going.

    With an ending perhaps

    Make no mistake, her risks are still very within the context of a 4/4 pop structure, but she still finds such color and joy in her surroundings it's hard not to get swept up in her energy. Such risk-staking, however, can still lead to a few moments that could've used a bit more polish.
