    The whole album is just perfect! I simply can't pick one that I like the most because every single song is flawless and has its own way that makes me fall in love with. "Soon you'll get better" made me feel as if I was going to cry actually. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for your songs Taylor. I love you sooo much!

    This Album is probably the best album of Taylor Swift. From the lyrics itself, it defines how music can be both magical and influencing for the listeners (specially to her fans). Instruments used were both playful and somehow dramatic. Together, it blends to the sound of Pop Music and Culture of today. Every song is very special and unique in its own way.

    Lover combines the production of 1989 and reputation, along with the lyricism of RED and emotions of Speak Now, to deliver a stunningly brilliant album that cohesively manages to touch on love in a multifaceted way. Swift's strengths shine on this album, making it perhaps one of her best, encapsulating every aspect listeners have adored her for.

    The album is trash. No artistic growth, same old bubbly pop sounds with childish lyrics. Why critics praise her is beyond me.

    Its great to see her drown in happiness, love and all kinds of joys. Each song contains a different aspect of her emotions. Its like living in her dream, watching every single moment of her life fulfiled with delights.

    Lover is Taylor Swift’s finest artistic hour since 2012’s Red, and probably her second-best overall (again, behind her crossover masterpiece). Vocally refreshing, consistent in lyrical quality, sonically cohesive, and deftly produced, Lover is the closest pop music could get to art in this decade of musical decline.

    The old Taylor never died. She reminds us why she is one of the greatest artists of a generation and why we never want her to stop creating.

    This album feel like a combination of her past work. It has the lyrics and emotion of Speak Now and RED with the production of 1989. Lover’s only flaw is the arrangement of the songs.

    Album of the year! Sonical cohesion, lyrics, emotions, versatility. She's outdoing herself with every album and this one proves she hasn't lost an ounce of her writing abilities after all those years. PERIODT

    I'm freaking out with this album. Everything is sooooo wonderful. The beats are really funny and catchy and sweet. The lyrics are perfect. I can see that she's happy now after dramas in the past. This is one of the most wonderful albums of Taylor. Love it

    The old Taylor is back, with a twist. This new era is all the turning points from her pervious "reputation" and old artworks that sets off at telling a new perspective, a new beginning. Filled with all aspects and adoration of what love is and was. A love letter to love itself, indeed it is. Now, Lover might be my favorite album of hers and yes, it is... and I hope it's all there newThe old Taylor is back, with a twist.

    Album is far too kidzbop!!!! There are a few ok tracks but there is not one fresh idea on this album. This is now the highest rated album after being out 48 hours. This shows just showed how ridiculous that is.

    It’s an album that screams out for an editor, but when it hits the right notes, it demonstrates just why Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

    Ultimately, Lover is overstuffed and meandering, but serves as a positive reprieve from her past struggles in the public eye, and represents an artist at the peak of her creativity, power, and—one hopes—continued romantic bliss.

    Lover is a fabulous record, full of super-fun standout pop hits that make your heart burst. It oozes with Swift’s much more palatable upbeat sass. She’s in love and also thinking about different kinds of love.
