    It’s not perfect, but it’s still very beautiful. She hits the mark perfectly on the idea of romance on first man, used to be, living proof and easy.
    Dream of you could use a lot less auto tune as well as this love, but the rest don’t stick. Bad kind of butterflies is really pretty, but I can’t say much else about it.

    This is the only good real pop album released this year. The Spanish guitar and strings mixed with modern pop is fresh. Should Have Said It and Living Proof are the top two best tracks.

    This album sounds generic.. I only liked ''Shameless'', the others sound unoriginal to me. Sometimes her voice doesn't match with the melody.

    I prefer the next half of the album to the first half. 'Easy' is my favorite and the lyrics of 'used to this' is beautiful.

    easily the worst album this year. full of generic pop songs that struggles to tell no story. she wants to be fake deep so bad but will never be anything of the sort. stole the entire concept from baldsey and thats saying something. nfr album of the year if you think about it

    Romance it is no bad.Romance it is not good.It is ok.
    That's Camila's second album and I still can't see her personality.This album should be personal but sounds like fourteen songs that she just recorded.No personality.No feelings.Just songs.

    Love is huge and there is a ton of ways to love and people to adore. In an album called "Romance" I personally think that all this kinds of love (to your partner, parents, for life, to your hometown) should be represented. Camila, however, has decided to reduce love to the romantic relationship one. The album, consisting of 14 tracks, has only one that talks about another type of love: herLove is huge and there is a ton of ways to love and people to adore.

That isn't much, though.
    The album has an undeniable perfect production that fits perfectly with Camila's vocals. Songs like "My Oh My" or "Bad Kind of Butterflies" are funny and terrifying at the same time. Please stick to your habitual producer Camila, he/she's doing an amazing work.
    The album has an excellent concept but, as communism, the idea is brilliant but, in the practice, it isn't as good as we thought. The idea of talking about love being only 22 and having that little experience following the singer's words is interesting. She sounds deeply in love in this album but it tries to evolve to a breakup and then to a recovery that I, honestly, don't believe has happened to her. It feels a bit forced even though the album is great.    … Expand

    romance is definitely more personal & camila is more mature - in the lyrics & as a human being. tracks like shameless, living proof & feel it twice, really show how unique & great produced the album is.

    En mi opinión es un album muy bueno, creo que se nota el crecimiento de Camila Cabello (musicalmente hablando) y la producción del album es muy buena, lo unico malo fue la terrible promocion que tuvo (pero eso ya no corresponde a la artista) mis canciones favoritas fueron: Used to this, Easy, Bad Kind Of Butterflies y First Man

    This is her Divine Comedy! She is the Romance.

    Both of “Living Proof” and “Easy” has ancient Roman mythological visuals, the allusion from Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The fonts, and the visuals are of ancient Roman style.

While on ‘Liar’ Cabello tries to deny her love for someone, on ‘Shameless’, Cabello shows herself fearless about admitting she loves someone. On ‘Living Proof’, Camila shows us some divine love, in which “there’s God in every move” and her lover “is the living proof”. On the chorus, she risks (and perfectly succeed) falsetto. On ‘Should’ve Said It’ and ‘Feel It Twice’, the singer talks about somebody wanting her while she’s with somebody else. On the first one, she… Expand

    This album is so beautiful it kinda makes me sad the amount of auto tune they decide to put in her voice. Everyone who listen to any Camila songs know she has such a powerful voice and this choice was a really poor one. Still, i`m looking forward to see her live performances, cause I really wanna hear her voice singing this amazing songs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. She sounds really good and the lyrics are of another level than her first album. Give it a chance and you won't regret it!!!! The ballads are wonderful… Expand

    Cabello’s willingness to assist in [the music industry’s embrace of the “Latin” sound] caricature elsewhere distracts from the otherwise interesting Spanish-classical and Santana-esque riffs on Romance.

    Throughout “Romance,” the pop machinery clicks cleverly and efficiently into place around Cabello’s voice. The productions tend to be sparse — spooky electronic sounds, an occasional acoustic or electric guitar, hefty but discreet drums — and even where the choruses ratchet up, Cabello’s voice often stays close and confiding.

    Romance is a solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that places growth at center-stage and keeps us wanting more without going limp.
