    This is by far selena’s best album, the lyrics are amazing and she got involved in the writing more than she ever had. The production is really good and give a different sound to every track but i feel like there is a same vibe in several ones. I’m so happy she found what music she wants to do

    Amazing album!! Such a step up from Revival both lyrically and sonically. So worth the wait. Justin bieber and Ariana grande could never make an album this good

    Literally one of the best album I've ever heard! Selena Gomez has really shown growth throughout her albums, and this is her best work yet! It's so cohesive, and the vibe of it all just takes you to a different space, especially in dance again, vulnerable, let me get me, and a sweeter place. 10/10, period.

    I’m not a fan of her but this album is SO good! I think this is Selena’s best album so far and her vocals improved as well. La times? Comparing her with Ariana grande? So unprofessional, don’t be biased guys just cause you are Ariana fans clearly. Selena’s album is better by miles! Congratulations Selena!

    Is just a message of Selena saying, "yes, i have been in the low, for real, but i'm ready to go outside and search for my own happiness, because i deserve it". Rare is the real Selena Gomez, authentic, vulnerable, honest and in the top of that, obviously, rare.

    “Rare’s stylish assortment of songs is refreshing – a commanding, understated flex that suggests Gomez’s lengthy toil in the studio paid off. Maybe there’s a correlation: Selena Gomez albums don’t come along all that often, and neither do pop albums this fully realized and self-assured.”

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.
