    O álbum começa bem com ''Ain't Been Done'', passa pela péssima ''Burnin' Up'', que talvez seja a pior do disco junto com ''Loud''. Os pontos fortes do álbum acabam sendo ''Bang Bang'' que conta com a participação de Ariana Grande e Nicki Minaj, sendo a última convidada, o ponto alto da canção.

Os pontos fortes do álbum acabam sendo ''Bang Bang'' que conta com a participação de Ariana Grande e Nicki Minaj, sendo a última convidada, o ponto alto da canção. A faixa título, ''Sweet Talker'', é excelente, outros destaques são ''Searl Me With a Kiss'', onde ela ressuscita Mariah Carey na ótima ''Fantasy'' do disco ''Daydream'' de 1995 e ''Get Away''.
    O álbum demonstra ter sido feito totalmente nas coxas, consegue ser um pouco melhor que o ''Alive'' lançado há 1 ano atrás e inferior ao seu primeiro disco, ''Who You Are'', onde ela escreveu mais de 200 canções, enquanto nesse a participação dela foi muito menor. Pra quem começou na música compondo sucessos pra outros cantores como Chris Brown e Miley Cyrus, ser compositora principal de apenas 4 músicas do disco é um total sinal de que esse disco foi lançado apenas - sem sucesso - pra tentar cobrir o péssimo desempenho do ''Alive'' que não conseguiu penetrar os charts americanos com ''Wild'', muito menos ter sido lançado por lá ou ter 10% do êxito de seu primeiro trabalho.
    Como ela mesma diz, ela está trabalhando em sua ''Masterpiece'' e quem sabe um dia ela consiga fazer um álbum que realmente convença. Personalidade vocal ela já mostrou que tem de sobra!    … Expand

    I wait until today for the return of Jessie J Who You Are, her vocals are good but only that does not hold an album, although he did his good songs, it could have been much better; is still one of the best of the year (which I considered weak), but it can improve more for the next album.
    Highlights: Said Too Much and Seal Me With A Kiss
    Lows: Get Away and Personal

    Overall, Sweet Talker is a solid pop record full of sass, confidence and strength. Jessie J's vocal performance is, as usual, at its best, and the production (handled by some of the best producers in the game) is sweet and beautiful. There is no "bad" song on the album, but some shine better than others. Standouts include "Sweet Talker", "Fire" (which perfectly showcases the perfection ofOverall, Sweet Talker is a solid pop record full of sass, confidence and strength.

Standouts include "Sweet Talker", "Fire" (which perfectly showcases the perfection of Miss J's voice), 80's-dancefloor-ready "Seal Me With a Kiss", "Keep Us Together" and the Grande/Minaj-assisted hit "Bang Bang". "Loud" and "Masterpiece" sound a bit generic but they're still good. So, in general, love the record, it's totally worth the hype! Hope this album achieves the success intended. Congrats to the perfect miss J!… Expand

    Folës Sweet , një përmbledhje e këngëve që nuk kanë kuptim me eachother , përveç faktit se ata të gjithë melodramë ekran të mirën e saj . Mjerisht , ky album do të harrohet së bashku me artistë të tjerë të cilët nuk kanë strukturë me albumet e tyre . Pozitive janë vokal dhe disa të prodhimit , Negative janëpërmbajtja lirik , karakteristika , dhe më shumë të prodhimit .
    4/10

    Jessie J is back. With a better album to restore her legend
    Peaked at the position of 10 on the US Billboard 200, Jessie J’s latest album, Sweet Talker has finally hit both the domestic and foreign markets and grown over time. The album has made Jessie’s music career back on track after the frustrating sales of Jessie’s previous album, Alive.
    Just like its name, Sweet Talker is as sweet    Jessie J is back. With a better album to restore her legend
    Peaked at the position of 10 on the US Billboard 200, Jessie J’s latest album, Sweet Talker has finally hit both the domestic and foreign markets and grown over time. The album has made Jessie’s music career back on track after the frustrating sales of Jessie’s previous album, Alive.
    Just like its name, Sweet Talker is as sweet as honey. The album is quite different from her previous album which had more up-tempo pop rock and dance pop songs, while Sweet Talker shows versatility like her greatest hit: Who You Are. It has both up-tempo, fun songs and ballads. In addition, she has a better vocal performance and shows more courage in this album as well.
    There is no doubt that Bang Bang is the best song among the album. The song is an up-tempo soulful addicting song which featured with Nicki Minaj as well as Ariana Grande. Jessie and Grande do their best on the vocal duties, bringing the singles plenty of energy. Jessie also shows her marvelous singing skill as she hitting the high notes of the song, ‘See anybody could be good to you/ You need a bad girl to blow your mind.’
    As the first song of the album, fast-talking hip-hop song ain’t been done, revealing her statement of career now, The finger-snapping Seal Me With A Kiss gives a feel of R&B throwback, while the song You Don’t Really Know Me, is her confession about life since finding fame and the song Sweet Talker has a quintessential R&B tune with a memorable chorus.
    Jessie J has an incredible voice which everyone cannot be resistible. Yes the album can definitely ‘Bang bang there goes your heart’.    … Expand

    Ultimately, Sweet Talker falls short of pop glory.

    She still packs too many showboating notes into each songs. But she’s also finding a unique vulnerability on ballads like Loud, where she effectively confronts the haters with her humanity.

    Jessie's at her best when she's having fun. She just doesn't have enough of it here.
