    With NFR! Lana has distilled her artistry into new and deeper forms. After the excellent Honeymoon and the solid Lust for Life, Lana's Norman **** Rockwell fires on all cylinders with lush production and exceptional modern songwriting. One of the genuine masterpieces of the year, free from collaborative clutter.

    After a failed experiment (in my opinion) in Lust for Life and criticism over cliched lyricism, Lana Del Rey puts together arguably her best album yet. Beautiful instrumentals, haunting lyrics unlike other songs we’ve seen by her, and just great care put into each and every song.

    After listening to just a handful of songs I can assure you that Norman F##king Rockwell is another of Lana del Rey's knockout masterpieces. "Hope is a Dangerous Thing..." in particular is an amazing song.

    Beautiful. Vulnerable. Truly magical from start to finish. Some of her best work; an album that will stand the test of time.

    this album isn’t music; it’s pure poetry

    Lana is the most exciting and unpredictable poet and musician in our lifetime. I feel lucky to be her contemporary and I am looking forward to the next step in her career.

    I personally was not too taken by her last couple of albums, and I’m not saying they were bad, they just missed the mark for me, failing to hit the quality of both Born To Die and Ultraviolence. But this album has truly proved me wrong, exceeding both these albums in every way. Lana has truly outdone herself, proving herself to be a true artist and will be remembered for this album for decades to come.    … Expand

    This album is so beautifully crafted it deserves all the praise it can get. It’s definitely among the best work Lana has ever released. Songs like Venice **** The Greatest and California are top tier and about 80% of the album is a highlight!

    Her most consistent work to date. The tracks seem to be more organic than her previous albums and it could be considered an evolution when compared to Ultraviolence and it makes me so proud of her growth as an artist.

    É incrível o como a Lana consegue fazer algo novo e ainda assim ser fiel a sua persona. Álbum muito bem produzido e o trabalho vocal aqui é incomparável. A dupla Jack/ Lana não poderia ter dado mais certo que isso.

    Her best album, hands down. She’s definitely gone back to the Ultraviolence vibe and it’s payed off. As a whole it really is a stunning album, but the individual songs stand strong too. It feels a lot more cohesive than Lust For Life as well. Definitely high on my Albums of 2019 list!

    Desde o BTD a Lana está em evolução. E isso é fato. A evolução pro Ultra foi magnífica, principalmente na parte lírica que desde então melhorou bastante. A voz da Lana está mais sólida a cada álbum, soa tão boa que ninguém nem lembra mais como era suas performances por volta de 2011/2012.

Lana se tornou uma mulher mais madura, e sua forma de enxergar o mundo já não é mais a mesma. Ela está feliz, suas letras mesmo um pouco tristes e melancólicas estão conseguindo deixar o seu público feliz. Lana se tornou uma das melhores compositoras dessa década. E toda aclamação que ela tem ela merece. Não quero ser clichê, mas é até difícil escolher quais as faixas destaques desse disco.… Expand

    a cada álbum Lana prova que consegue se reinventar e lançar coisas inovadoras. Os vocais maduros, letras profundas... incrível. É o melhor álbum lançado por ela até agora. A faixa-titulo, Hapinness is a Butterfly e Venice **** são as melhores do disco. Merece ganhar o Grammy de ÁLBUM DO ANO

    I only listened to this once this mornin' and i just can't get rid of it!

    Things inevitably drift, but beneath the surface in the best songs there is a toughness and a newfound resilience.

    It's a remarkably sharp pop record that retains her fascination with pop-culture iconography and the rosey simplicity of a post-war America where classic rock and blue jeans ruled and takes them to much deeper places. ... Think of it as an hour-long car ride peeling down the highway with classic rock blaring out of the radio and no real destination in mind other than where your impulsive nature might take you.

    A thematically rich record, heavy on mood and elegantly written in a way that positions Del Rey between Eve Babitz and Carole King. There are beguiling and evolving melodies underneath the spare piano and acoustic arrangements. [Nov 2019, p.24]
