    It is an excellent album where we can see how Selena plays or discovers new rhythms and sounds, the great growth since Revival is also noticeable and one we noticed a Selena more sure of herself and her lyrics are of self-esteem and acceptance that are very important issues today, if Selena gave us an album of self-love. Amazing!

    I'm really proud of the woman she's getting around, and brought an album certainly with her soul and all love. The sound is so hot to hear, and her totally pure vocals that tends to be the voice of an angel. The album is totally cohesive and the way it proposed all these years. To say that this is a generic, it's certainly lying to yourself.
