    Honestly, she just hasn't been the same since "Call Me Maybe". I miss the old Carly :(

    Great pop record. Carly didn’t shy away from taking risks on her new album, and the result was superb.

    Fantastic album! Full of bops, what more can I say! The sound has matured from the Call me maybe days but the lyrics and catchiness of the songs remain alluring.

    Carly had said that this is album is the type of music to clean your house to- now I want to clean my house all the time. She put together a pop album that not only shows how well she knows her own sound (keeping a similar sound to Emotion), but how she is still able to grow and evolve.

Several songs like Right Words Wrong Time and For Sure have such a nostalgic feel that just hit your soul in the right way. Every listen brings new hidden gems and a greater appreciation for her art. She proved once again that she's so much more than the Call Me Maybe girl many think she still is. She's an artist and damn good at her craft. Dedicated radiates such purity that you can't help but fall in love with it. From Julien to Party For One and every run through after it becomes clearer and clearer that in many ways, Carly is in a league of her own.… Expand

    Adorei!! Um dos melhores álbuns pop de 2019. Muito coeso, equilibrado, harmonioso. Carly se reinventa e se supera a cada lançamento. Agora, licença que primeiro a gente aclama, depois a gente ouve.

    This album is just so casually excellent with not one bad song. Lyrically and sonically this is her best album without a doubt.

    Queen of music. Period.

    This album is a masterpiece. She's improved a lot since her #1 hit "Call me maybe". And I think she's on her way to become the new Robyn.

    So fantastic! The album incredibly and I would say surprisingly expanded on her nostalgia pop vibe. Definitely a standard in pop music songwriting and production

    CRJ hasn't grown as an artist at all and continues to sing songs you'd expect from a teenager. Absolutely no emotional depth at all.

    “Dedicated” is a beautiful pop album. It explores the emotions of a breakup, learning to love yourself, and eventually loving again. Brava, Carly!

    I definitely expected to like this album given just how much I adored the pre-release singles and of course Carly's complete catalogue, however, I certainly wasn't prepared for what Carly graced us with on 17 May. The album grows with each and every track and even things that sounded somewhat out of place start to fit perfectly after just a few listens.

I am the type of person that normally listens to an album in order once or twice and then I default to shuffle, but this I feel like doing this with Dedicated does it an absolute disservice. I give this album 10 feet out of 10 feet tall.… Expand

    There could be an argument that a couple of edits to make the track listing shorter would have resulted in an even more effective album. However, this is easily one of the best pop albums of the year as it is: one that’s unlikely to be bettered unless a certain Ms Swift really pulls it out of the bag.

    Dedicated isn’t a perfect album--it’s overlong and occasionally concedes too much to chart tastes to be interesting. But by the time Jepsen takes a bow following bonus track “Party For One,” you’re reminded once again of her generosity, of all the space she’s cleared for strength and weakness, for personal epiphanies and communal release.

    Dedicated is good, but it doesn’t whirl with the same destructive force; in that sense, it is Carly Rae’s first genuine failure in a decade.
