    Not good as usual Selena flops. She can't sing and write good songs. She should quit music.

    Her best album ever . Love each and every song. The words of the song are so significant and deep , she’s able to speak to the heart of everyone who can relate to what she’s been through the past few years. Such an inspiration . Deeply in love with all of this song

    Her best album yet. The lyrics are so true and so beautiful. You can tell it came from the heart, and it sounded so fresh

    Brilliantly written and produced, it sounds like a journey of transformation and acceptance where each episode has its own distinctive sound. Other than Lose You To Love Me, the songs are mid- to upbeat, they’re fun, they’re catchy, and even if one or two won’t convince you at first listen, the hooks will stay in your mind and will grow on you. All killers, no fillers.

    An amazing and cohesive album. Selena is comfortable in her vocal range and the lyrics are ripe. Clearly we can see how personal this album is and how Selena has been able to evolve in recent years.

    To be honest, my expectations weren't very high going into this album but I was pleasantly surprised. While the album notably falls flat in a couple of places, all in all, it's a pretty solid record and the first time that selena has shown any potential in becoming a staple or becoming something legendary.

    RARE is Selena’s most lyrically and sonically beautiful album to date. With most artist you would love to see them progress in their music and Selena is no stranger to that. No album of hers is the same but RARE stands out !

    It’s a really bad album, sounds the same and there’s only two good songs. Nothing new about the sound or the way she’s placed each song. All the hype for what?

    One of the best albums I have heard. It is clear that Selena Gomez has put lots of effort and tried new sounds of music. My favorite album of her for sure.

    The album is wonderful. The lyrics are deep and touch the soul of the listener, even seems to Selena talking with their thoughts. The tempo is different from most of today's music, which I think is great. It is an evolutionary and perfect sound.

    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.
