    Another dumpster fire. She should stop making bubble gum pop music for 12 year olds.

    Such a boring album that puts you to sleep just like the rest of her discography. Nothing innovative and one can only laugh at her attempt to sing.

    I can't help but feel like, although Selena's vocals are pleasant to listen to and she sounds good, that the songs on this album feel as if they were a collation of rejected songs from other artist's song pools. Nothing on this album sounds like it belongs to Selena and Selena alone - feeling like any one of 15 other female popstars could have easily cut and sealed the track.

Nothing on this album sounds like it belongs to Selena and Selena alone - feeling like any one of 15 other female popstars could have easily cut and sealed the track.

    There's nothing wrong with taking a song and giving it a home but when you've spent half a decade on the album just for it to end up with a bunch of artist reject sounding songs, it feels like a low effort attempt. Confused that the critic reviews were so favourable on anything outside of her pleasant vocal performance.

    This album is such a disappointment. After her string comeback with Lose You To Love Me, I thought she will be more vulnerable with raw lyrics but no. The album title song Rare is so corny and isn’t original at all.

    There are some good songs like LYTLM, the title track and I really like the bonus tracks from the deluxe version, but the songs like Fun, Ring, LAHN, Kinda Crazy are really ruining the whole album, like wtf especially Fun, I can't take that seriously.
    This would've been a better album if she scrapped those unlistenable songs and makes more better ones like LYTLM.

    Para esse álbum ser considerado ruim, ainda teria que melhorar muito.
    Como diria Pitchfork: "Para um álbum intitulado Rare, essas músicas são surpreendentemente comuns."
    Selena, mais uma vez, nos entrega mais do mesmo, sem inovação nenhuma. O resultado disso é constatado em sua carreira, frequentemente ultrapassada por artistas novatos.

    it seems like everyone was expecting a Selena Gómez' ordinary album. But the album's name says it everything: it is a rare piece in which she is exploring more delightful rythms, not only Basic pop Beats.

    No es muy agradable, estos álbumes personales suelen contar historias enfáticas en el amor, en la superación y en el agradecimiento a cada fanático, esta para mi es la peor era de Selena Gómez, no destaca en lo absoluto su trabajo, solo es enfático en hablar de vivencias, ¿Dónde esta la buena calidad y el sentido de superación?

    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.
