    Best album of his career, all the songs portray what Demi lived / lives without seeming forced and the sound is without a doubt much superior to the old albums.

    O álbum, que tem um nome maior que a profundidade do mesmo, de início nos faz questionar algo que sempre é uma dúvida na carreira de Lovato: quando é que essa mulher vai sacodir a poeira e parar de fazer música sobre superação? É como se ela tivesse prazer em ter alguma narrativa triste para fazer música. Aqui as coisas são tão óbvias e previsíveis que em certos momentos conseguimosO álbum, que tem um nome maior que a profundidade do mesmo, de início nos faz questionar algo que sempre é uma dúvida na carreira de Lovato: quando é que essa mulher vai sacodir a poeira e parar de fazer música sobre superação? É como se ela tivesse prazer em ter alguma narrativa triste para fazer música. Aqui as coisas são tão óbvias e previsíveis que em certos momentos conseguimos adivinhar exatamente do que vai se tratar a música mesmo antes de ouvi-la. Falta identidade neste trabalho, falta proeza, sagacidade e vontade de sair do mesmo. Ao contrário de suas ex-colegas da disney (que também não vem entregando obras de arte), Lovato se mantém em uma narrativa chata e constante, dando a entender que ela é mais perseguida que Jesus foi na terra. Com isso podemos concluir que Demi se inspirou no conceito do recente álbum de Selena Gomez (isso não é um elogio), pois são raros os momentos em que apareça algo bom nesse emaranhado de bombas.

    Esse álbum é MUITO diferente de tudo que a Demi fez, é maduro e foge totalmente do que eu esperava que seria, foge totalmente do Tell Me You Love Me, é um pop hipster com influência alternativa. Vale muito a pena escutar principalmente quem não gostava dos trabalhos antigos dela, porque foge muito deles.

    The very first album she doesn't force vocals or specific chart's music styles. She and her team literally highlighted very well the vocals and instruments to present the music in a way the listeners feel her emotions and this specific period of her life. Genuine, Human and catchy. First time since 2008 I see Demi being really creative and true to herself. Congrats! Grammy please take her ♥

    I like this album. I don’t LOVE it because she has a tendency to ‘over-sing’ and sometimes it sounds like she’s straining her voice. I think she should use high notes sparingly as that really adds to the wow factor. However, I appreciate the message behind the album and know how hard this album was for her to make.

    Lovato's frankness is disarming, forcing a listener to reckon with the depths of the singer's distinction, yet the album works best when it veers toward lighter territory, letting the slick R&B rhythms and sugared hooks carry Lovato's emoting.

    Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over is Demi Lovato like we have never heard before. She is sassy and carefree while serious about her identity and personhood in a way she has been itching to be for years.

    The opening three tracks are almost an EP in their own right, before a quick reset. Semi title track ‘The Art Of Starting Over’ begins anew, a straight forward bop that gets to the root of Demi’s recovery – her natural talent, her ear for pop magic, affording room for personal renewal.
