    the "CAMILA" for sure and one of the most wonderful albums I've ever had the pleasure of listening has songs that make us cry so beautiful that e, camila has a voice that calms people the vocals of her in the songs are From another world I only have to say that she racked up this album. Very proud, I'm fan.

    Our Cuban fairy Camila did an awesome job dropping this amazing album. I love the way we can feel all of her emotions through these incredible songs. My favorites so far are Something's Gotta Give, She Loves Control, In The Dark and Consequences. So, this is one of the best album I've heard EVER!

    i just wanna say congratulations Camila for this incredible album, an amazing record, a truly masterpiece... Each song is very different from the other, She served vocals, lyrics, instrumental, background vocals.

    So proud of you Camila.

    Good debut album. Kind of generic, commercial and similar. Her voice is gorgeous but still can improve. Some tracks are wonderful while others are not so good. Hope her next album is better. (Actually some songs such as Scar Tissue and Crying in The Club that are not on the album are better)
    Never Be The Same 10/10(favorite track)

    very generic album. Overrated in my opinion, it seems like they're forcing this girl to happen in the music industry

    Camila Cabello's debut album is an intriguing record, with a sensation comparable to that of a book disguised as a pop record. It is, undoubtedly, more personal than apparent at first listen - and is a fascinating 36-minute trip into the singer and songwriter's point of view. Despite repeating the same theme a couple of times, Camila's first album does add its on touch to each track.

    Es simplemente PERFECTO. Puedes sentir todo lo que transmiten sus hermosas letras. Hay canciones para bailar y disfrutar, y también algunas que te hacen reflexionar porque hablan de situaciones que a todos nos han pasado en algún momento. Es un álbum versátil y apasionado.

    Look, when I first heard this album, I thought it was great. You have to understand that I had looooow expectations when I went into it - I never liked Camila during her time in 5H. So the fact that I got songs that made me sing along put me on a high.

    Now that I've slept on it and have gotten off that high, I think I can honestly say that this album is...good. I can't say it's    Look, when I first heard this album, I thought it was great.

    Now that I've slept on it and have gotten off that high, I think I can honestly say that this album is...good.

    I can't say it's great. I can't even say it's ambitious. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to forget all these songs by February.

    But I also can't say I didn't enjoy listening to this album. Some of them are bops; the remaining are piano or guitar ballads that I think have some good lyrics. There's no song that I actively hate - but there's no song I actively love, either.

    I've been a little unfair to poor Camilla in the past. I don't like her voice, but that shouldn't be a problem if she had the tunes to back it up. Her voice is unique, and a lot of iconic singers became iconic because of their unique voices. Cyndi Lauper, for example. And some of these songs really compliment her voice. But then there are tracks like Never Be the Same that just...her voice is really grating at times.

    My biggest problem with this album is how every song reminds me of another song from a different Top 100 artist. Inside Out basically reuses lyrics from The Chainsmokers, Into It sounds a lot like Sober by Lorde, and Never Be the Same will blend in perfectly with every other song on the radio. That doesn't bother me enough to hate it, but it does contribute to the whole 'forgettable' thing.

    So while I wouldn't recommend this album simply because I don't find it interesting enough to recommend to anyone, I wouldn't say no if someone asked me if they should listen to it. I'd probably say maybe.    … Expand

    Camila is really ready to be a star. She is not afraid to innovate, her songs express the daily lives of several people, her suffering pain, and victory. It showed that you can do Your Music, and succeed. Congratulations.

    Stand outs are Havana, Never Be The Same, and Inside Out. Otherwise, there is nothing special on this album. Meh.

    camila's album is so beautiful. if you just sit down in a quiet room and listen to it with headphones on, i'm sure you'll love it. this album will make you feel a variety of emotions in the (short) amount of 36 minutes. what i really like about her and this album is how she stayed true what kind of music she wanted to make, she could have said she was going to do one thing then go off andcamila's album is so beautiful. if you just sit down in a quiet room and listen to it with headphones on, i'm sure you'll love it. this album will make you feel a variety of emotions in the (short) amount of 36 minutes. what i really like about her and this album is how she stayed true what kind of music she wanted to make, she could have said she was going to do one thing then go off and completely do another thing but she didn't. camila said she wanted to tell a story with her music, while taking parts of herself and making it her own. you can hear that in a few of the songs like she loves control and consequences.

    on and all, for a debut album camila really did the damn thing, she had 100 countries have her album go #1, joining the likes of ed sheeran, beyonce, taylor swift, and more. that is absolutely amazing, since it's her debut album. the album was also critically acclaimed, as you can see by looking at the other reviews by the critics.

    if you want something to make you feel, i 100% think you should give it a listen, you won't be disappointed!    … Expand

    This is a pretty much safe album, running on the mark of only 37 min with a song unnecessarily appearing 2 times.

    She is solo artist for one year and it feels like she is solo for many years.
    Camila's album CAMILA is one of the best albums I ever heard- the lyrics, the melodies, her voice everything isso PERFECT.
    I cant stop listien to this albu, so thank you so much Camila for those wonderful songs, you made my day.

    I was expecting more from Camila's album. compare to her former Groups album this is a disaster. Fifth Harmony by Fifth Harmony had soul and R&b influences alongside edm and pop sounds. Camila by Camila Cabello doesn't have a distinct sound. All of her tracks sound the same, besides Havana. I'm really disappointed with this album, I was expecting much more from her and her team.

She is honestly one of the sweetest and most down to earth people I’ve ever had the pleasure of not meeting but her personality sells her.

    So,
    thank you Camila it has been a pleasure to watch you from the days of x-factor when you left Mark, Simon, and I shook with your voice during ‘Impossible’, star studded duets, hit singles, and many cheers.

    Terrible Album.... almost all of her songs are samples and sound like other songs. Some artists that were copied were Lorde, Christina Aguilera, Ed Sheeran, Sia and many more. Why can't she write her own music for once.

    Living between two cultures can be alienating, but Camila Cabello packages her experience as a Cuban-American seamlessly into pure pop perfection.

    “Never Be the Same” proves that Cabello doesn’t need a mammoth voice. The love-is-a-drug lyric she’s singing is dumb, but she sells it so joyfully that you don’t even notice, and its wonderfully breathy, high-register hook ensures “Havana” won’t be her last solo hit.
