Sep 16, 2021Some of the lyrics on this one are...stupid. It is too bad because that last album was great. This one has nice moments here and there but overall not great. 6/10

Sep 23, 2021SUCH a disappointment. This is not a bad album, it's just boring, and bland pop. I'm a huge fan of her work, but I don't "love" a single song on this record, and after repeated listens, frankly, it will sit on my shelf to (probably) never be listened to again.

Sep 21, 2021“Star-Crossed” is actually a less emotional experience than the blissed-out “Golden Hour,” which practically vibrated with feeling. ... Musgraves’ writing on “Star-Crossed” is squishier and more prone to cliché than on “Golden Hour” or her earlier albums.

UncutSep 17, 2021Musgraves' superpower is her ability to convey complex emotions via concise phrasing, which means quieter songs such as "Good Wife" and "If This Was A Movie" hit especially hard. [Nov 2021, p.30]

Sep 16, 2021It’s an album where she can be not so much “happy and sad at the same time” as heartsick, defiant, nostalgic, self-doubting, sassy, rueful and flatlining in the same divorce-court feedback loop. ... And one of the best things about “Star-Crossed” is its boldly weird but highly satisfying finale.
