    Esse album é maravilhoso. Por ser um debut, obvio que peca em algumas coisas (como algumas composições fracas) mas certeza que é só elas trabalharem isso e evoluirão cada vez mais. Feliz pelo resultado, foda-se a rixa das girlbands, cada uma delas merecem o seu espaço, voces so precisam aprender a se respeitarem. going nowhere hino do pop vem hitar rainhas voces merecem

    I didn't really know what to expect with this album. The two year wait and the diverse singles they've put out really made me uncertain about it. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I listened and discovered that it was a well thought out and produced piece of work. The message of the album is empowerment and a give no f--- about what other people think attitude and it works for them.I didn't really know what to expect with this album.

I would hope on the next album they include some more slower, ballad type songs that show the general audience just how talented they are vocally. However, for a first album, a record full of pure jams is fine by me. I hope this album gets them the recognition they so truly deserve. Expand

    The perfect girl-power-pop-album you need right now. 2 years of waiting were worth it, they made it perfect for the fans and non-fans, everyone can enjoy this album, and everywhere. In the car, at a party, or at home. "Reflection" is everything you'll need right now. 10/10 for these hard working girls, and congrats at the #1 on iTunes us and 20+ countries!

    I've been watching them for a long time and I am happy to say that waiting two years for this album was totally worth it. The vocal growth/ maturity is so noticeable and perfectly shows how far they've come. Great job!!

    After two years, the much anticipated album from Fifth Harmony was certainly worth the wait!

    I couldn't be prouder of these girls! I've been a fan of them since the X Factor and I've loved seeing them grow as musicians as well as people. For being their first album they have definitely delivered and the 2 (almost 3) year wait was well worth it.

    This album has a message behind everything! Not only that, but the album is very diverse in terms of genre feels. It goes from funk to sassy to pop to EDM to RnB it's a really good mix. Although some production isn't as solid as it could be it's still a great album. Each song has a solid message behind it deep down and it's all positive. The negative reviews are uncalled for...

    A very strong debut album displaying versatility, growth and harmonies. I have enjoyed a lot of the tracks on this album and this does the job of not putting me to sleep like their contemporaries: Little Mix, The Saturdays and Neon Jungle have done in the past with some of their tracks. If you want a Urban Pop album that makes you feel good and want to dance then this is the album for you.A very strong debut album displaying versatility, growth and harmonies.

If you want a Urban Pop album that makes you feel good and want to dance then this is the album for you. If we're looking at technicalities there are plenty of moments on Reflection where these girls blend their unique tones to create soft and playful harmonies, high notes and low notes and the occasional whistle note here and there. They are the best vocal harmony group we have today and I do think this is only the beginning for them. Expand

    An absolutely solid and amazing album. Diverse kinds of songs, amazing vocals and top quality production. The album has shown how much 5H has grown up since their debut EP.
    Top tracks: Top Down, BO$$, Sledgehammer, Worth It, Reflection, Going Nowhere, Body Rock, Brave Honest Beautiful.
    Worst tracks: Suga Mama & Them Girls Be Like. But these songs are still very dope tho.

    It’s an album of fun, feminist pop that is simultaneously wise beyond its years (four of its five members are still in their teens) and refreshingly age-appropriate—and it effortlessly embodies the ideals grasped at by the girl power think piece wave, with a sharp, nuanced perspective that can only come from lived experience.

    This strategy [a homage to the last two or so years of pop and R&B] works because all the women of Fifth Harmony--Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui and Normani Kordei--are impressive, flexible singers.

    On the debut from Fifth Harmony (which formed during the second season of The X Factor, in 2012), high self-esteem feels like a party.
