    Selena's more matured lyricism and production have definitely shaped this album out to be her best. Selena spent 4 years of making this album, and it didn't go in vain. She has found her sound. It's proven mellow-R&B sounding tracks like 'Ring' and 'Vulnerable' and her falsetto rings through in 'Crowded Room', which suits her voice so much.

    This album shows maturity, healing and a process of self-love/self-respect. Selena did the four years of her fans wait worth it. She deserves all the best.

    Rare is one of the best albums ever released. Selena has shown artistry, growth, versatility, talent and creativity. This album deserves to be rated 100 for its meaning and really translating feeling into music, in a way that sounds good. Other artists need to take notes.

    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.
