Alegando ser seu projeto mais pessoal, o álbum conta com 39 compositores, incluindo Selena. O que traz certa dúvida, pois algumas músicas já tinham sido gravadas na voz de outras artistas, como Charli XCX e Bebe Rexha, muito antes de Selena ter esse crédito sobre as músicas e composições. Além de trazer um discurso de livramento, Selena faz pouco jus ao tema, cantando sobre algum tipo de amor passageiro e divertido, em Fun -que carrega uma produção deliciosa, mas uma letra fraca e genérica. O álbum possui ótimos pontos, como a faixa-título, Dance Again, que traz uma melodia Daft Punk, Vulnerable, onde mostra delicadeza em sua produção, melodia e letra, Fun e sua produção de guitarra no refrão, o R&B cauteloso em Cut You Off e as parcerias do álbum, Crowded Room com o rapper 6LACK e A Sweeter Place que conta com versos de Kid Cudi. Rare é a prova de um projeto que, nem de longe parece ter sido moldado por sua artista, que não fez parte da chapa de composição, de fato, e também não fez parte de sua produção. Mas embala um conjunto interessante de sons delicados. Expand

    Selena Gomez is back and freer than ever. This album is everything but rare. It feels liberating, confident and powerful. Gomez has for sure reinvented herself and her sound.

This album is everything but rare. It feels liberating, confident and powerful. Gomez has for sure reinvented herself and her sound. I can hear a dramatic but very sweet and correct musical evolution. The album sounds like spring; a rose flowering from the darkest moments of life to emerge from the ground as one of the world's most beautiful gifts. It is truly inspiring how Selena has been able to leave the "Stars Dance" mainstream pop and its desire to earn a gold certification apart and focus on making an album that is loyal to her personality and her underrated vocal ability. Gomez sounds amazing in this whisper tone register and breathy voice in this act of divine ruthlessness, full of dance-y, mid-tempo clarity project.
    The album doesn't have a storyline at all and doesn't mainly focus on her fight against lupus nor her romantic relationships, which is something I wanted to listen from her. Neverthless, with this album she is making a statement of confidence, self-empowerment and self-love, focusing on herself. Definitely a smart move for the singer.
    Gomez has made an album that feels like a conversation with herself, making "Rare" the album that she'll for sure remember as her most personal and loved one to date since it plays the role of a love letter to herself written with Swedish pop music mixed with a little bit of craziness and weirdness. An amazing recipe for this highly amusing album.

Listen closely to the lyrics and you can tell she does not need someone to be her hero, she is her own hero. This is very Tove Lo inspired, and that is true modern day pop music.

    Absolutely amazing. I simply adore the whole album from start to finish. The lyrics are so meaningful I can relate to almost everything.

    From Revival to Rare, you are able to see Selena’s self growth and it’s beautiful.

    One of the best pop albums I’ve heard. True art! Lyrically stunning, and the production and vocals are fantastic.

    This album is so good. Love the new sound she is trying and the personal lyrics that tell you what's she gone through these past few years.

    Bravo Selena.

    This album is EVERYTHING. Selena truly outdid herself with this extraordinarily great unconventional pop album. 10/10

    Not her best work yet but not her worst. Revival was way more authentic in terms of production. The opening song 'Rare' isn’t strong enough and songs like 'Fun' makes the album feel like a teenager pop album. 'Dance Again' and 'Kinda Crazy' could be Selena’s next hits.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No hay nada bueno en ese álbum. En verdad pensaba que sería mejor. La letra es muy básica, no conmueve, no anima, es una letra común y corriente. La música tiene movimiento pero es como cualquier otra canción. Expand

    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.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
