May 3, 2016An overall underwhelming album, Views is often boring, which tracks such as with 'Too Good' and 'Weston Road Flows' providing the most quality on an otherwise rather dull offering from an artist whose career seems to be past its best.

Apr 29, 2016A very mediocre effort, something everyone should be used to from drake. album is bloated and lacks cohesion. a lot of cringe worthy bars and weak flows. being unchallenged as the biggest name in rap really hasn't helped him

Apr 29, 2016After 3 full listens: Favorite song is U With Me. Theres some parts in some songs that stick out to me but theres not really any songs as a whole that stick out. The singing sounds a bit forced and is kinda boring and the lyrics are really lacking. He says a lot of the same stuff but without the flare.

May 6, 2016Very disappointing album, and like many critics said, it feels bloated at 1h20min long... the quality of the lyrics just isn't there and some of the songs are painfully boring, especially the one feat Party, what a crap song... Geez... only 2-3 tracks I appreciate out of 20! I love every other Drake project since the beginning, this one is PAINFUL to listen to.

May 7, 2016Most instrumentally impressive, most lyrically unimpressive. It took me three listens to get through the entire album. Seems more like a stream-of-consciousness rather than a planned effort.

May 13, 2016it's actually so mediocre, it's not that good :( I really expected more from Drake but to be honest zayn's and beyonce's albums are the best of 2016 so far

Apr 29, 2016Not his best. In fact, If You're Reading This It's Too Late and Take Care are more interesting listens than this. The die hard drake fans will enjoy, but it won't be a big album for the casual fan.

Apr 29, 2016I was very disappointed i expected so much more, Drake barley raps on this. The sound is all over the place one second its rap ,than r n b, then reggie it just comes of as unfinished. Additionally this has the most mediocre tracks out of any drake project

May 3, 2016Come on mehn Drake? Seriously? Right now, you're at the top of mainstream rap, and you give us this recycled Nothing Was the Same dump? Really? This album should have been your white album, yet you again played it safe... wasted potential.

May 18, 2016Views feels like no effort was put in. More than half of the tracks were very uninteresting and basically re-scores of each other. Some of the songs are cool with great bars, rhythms, and transitions but the project itself doesn't make any sense. 40 and the producers made some great music though. I'm gonna forget this album immediately.

Jul 9, 2016Mediocre at best. Majority of songs were very sloppy and seemed to be made with little effort. It was a forgettable album as nothing stood out lyrically or musically, and just disappointing considering all the hype around this album before it's release.
-
May 3, 2016Very disappointing effort by Drake on this new album. Awful dance track production, lackluster and shallow lyrics highlight this follow-up to Nothing Was The Same. Why not a follow-up to IYRTITL? Well, it seems as if Drake forgot that IYRTITL was hailed as a positive change in direction for the artist, or forgot about creating that mixtape at all.

May 1, 2016Dull, Tedious, Boring, Monotonous, Repetitious, Uneventful
This album us a tiresome journey that you can't wait to be over even before it really starts. -

Apr 30, 2016This n*gga is not for me. I don't want to hate, just sayin' I don't like this **** I mean, all the falsetto and soft beats....ain't hip hop. 20 songs and all have this n*gga singing falsetto. I mean, you have Pimp c on the album and even that track is WEAK. Who is ridin' listening to this album? Girls and fakes, I could see. But this ain't for me and I ain't buyin'.

MojoJun 28, 2016Drake's genuinely fleet-footed flows and sly humour prevent his pained introspection descending into a cheesy whine fest. [Aug 2016, p.95]

Q MagazineMay 31, 2016The middle section boast a tougher, truculent edge reminiscent of last year's mixtape If You're Reading This It's Too Late. But it's during the final sequence that everything clicks. [#361, p.114]

May 10, 2016Eventually, people will get tired of the same old song if it's sung too often. On Views, Drake is starting to sound a little weary of it himself.
