    A very fun and catchy album. Gomez explores many genres and exceeds the limits of anything she’s released before, while still keeping her authenticity. Excellent!

    The best pop album of recent memory. Selena Gomez gives uplifting music over danceable beats and mid tempo gems all across this album. It’s easily her best and most cohesive body of work to date.

    I can’t describe how it felt! A masterpiece, I could really feel her while listening, her suffering, her growth, her emotions. An actual treasure.

    In a liquid vision like mercury, Selena makes her animated show of great developments in the arrangements. Rare behaves like a manual on how to find, rediscover and love yourself. It is not easy to be honest and vulnerable, but that is what we are all the time. Bringing a taste of cohesion, Selena tastes love and frustration, pain and fire.

    Beyond worth the wait. Selena Gomez always pushes pop into new and exciting places and Rare is weird, confident and beautiful. Every song is expertly crafted and the whole album flows beautifully. Early faves include 'Rare', 'Vulnerable', 'Let Me Get Me', 'Cut You Off' and 'A Sweeter Place' but there isn't a weak moment. We have no choice but to stan.

    Selena's more matured lyricism and production have definitely shaped this album out to be her best. Selena spent 4 years of making this album, and it didn't go in vain. She has found her sound. It's proven mellow-R&B sounding tracks like 'Ring' and 'Vulnerable' and her falsetto rings through in 'Crowded Room', which suits her voice so much. She's showing clear artistic growth and I'm soSelena's more matured lyricism and production have definitely shaped this album out to be her best.

    Rare se podría decir que es el mejor disco de Selena porqué es muy bueno en producción, vocales y letra, realmente es muy sorprendente su talento y poder, es única y amé demasiado el disco.

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
