    Emotionally raw from start until end, this album shows the aspects of your life you need to heal. Lana shows she's been there, and is there with you, and can mournfully help you heal.

    AMAZING! If you don’t like it, try listening again in a quiet, reflective space. This album really makes you think about Lana’s journey as an artist and altogether is more like spoken word poetry than pop, alt, or indie music. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait for her new poetry book and future albums!

    A very captivating album, and definitely a grower. I cannot stop listening! While some songs are weaker than others, the strongest tracks hold them up and make this record a very great listen and possibly makes it Lana’s best album.

    Es precioso, me recuerda a sus eras pasadas y a la vez a la actual Lana. Siempre angelical e irreal su voz.

    A set of drifting piano ballads that allow her rich and profane lyrics to hit home. [Jan 2022, p.22]

    While the days of Born to Die have long since passed, Lana Del Rey is still seeking paradise, closer now than ever as she turns her search inward, seemingly recognizing that paradise is ultimately found within the best of oneself. Still, if there is indeed a physical Arcadia to be revealed, it has not emerged in its entirety on Blue Banisters. That said, its intoxicating hints are enough to keep seekers thirsty.
