    I follow them from the X Factor, I waited for two long years for this album ... And I must admit, the wait was worth a lot! They did not write the album, they co-wrote for lack of time, but it is not why there why belittle their work. The vocals, the lyrics, melodies. Congratulations, Fifth Harmony. You deserve this and more.

    This album is a great way of showcasing that the girls are matured and ready to be taken seriously as artists. The album has a eclectic mix of R&B-Urban-Pop music and it all flows together somehow. The features with Tyga and Kid Ink are my favorites, and the deluxe edition with a Meghan Trainor is cute, too. Overall this album doesn't dissappoint and spans to all kinds of fans for 5H.

    I just can't find the right word to describe this album. I listen it over and over again and it never makes me bored. The vocals are perfect and the lyrics are catchy, could listen to this extremely talented girls until I die.

    I realy don't know why people give so much hate to 5H. I bet that 70% of the pople who wrote these **** reviews about the album hadn't heard it. That's amazing. I loved it. To the people saying that "Worth It is a copy of "Talk Dirty", hey, these songs have the same producer, but "Worth It" is amazing to dance, "Top Down" too. "BO$$" is an amazing feminist song, loved it! "We Know" andI realy don't know why people give so much hate to 5H.

"BO$$" is an amazing feminist song, loved it! "We Know" and "Going Nowhere" are such mature songs. "Everlasting Love" and "Refection"... have no words. "Body Rock", in my opinion is the worst song. And one thing that I didn't liked in the album was the fact that Camila has more solos than the rest of the band, and there's amazing voices, like Normani and Ally. But the album is amazing. 5H won my heart, admiration and respect. Now let's dance listening to Reflection!… Expand

    Trash, just trash. Thank you God for we have Little Mix (queens) in the world. I think they (LM) deserve one +80 in Metacritic, they have more talent than fifthy no-harmony.

    After listening to the album its safe to say the Fifth Harmony is the next big girl group. They can all sing, dance, the music is fun and infectious, all while having a positive point of view and female empowering message.

    This debut album is so musically diverse and catchy, covering genres of Pop, R&B, and Urban. More importantly, these songs reflect a sentiment of girl power and these ladies set a great example for young people everywhere. It's clear Fifth Harmony are on track to be one of the most successful girl groups of all time.

    FIFTH HARMONY SLAYED MY LIFE WITH THIS ALBUM! Cada música tem potencial de ser um grande sucesso. Esse album só nos comprovou o quanto são talentosas e como elas merecem tudo que vem conseguido com o trabalho duro que todas tem feito. Nós fãs devemos nos orgulhar muito desse novo trabalho porque demorou pra sair, mas essa espera toda valeu muito a pena. Orgulho!

    I love this album so much! I've been waiting so long for it to come out and I wasn't disappointed. The lyrics are great. My favorite song would probably have to be either Everlasting Love or Brave, Honest, Beautiful.

    Me ha encantado, tiene muy buen sonido y ademas las letras son geniales, me han gustado demasiado. Esto es totalmente asombroso la verdad no me esperaba tal resultando, pero me han sorprendido gratamente es maravilloso porque no solo implementan letras de motivación si no también se encargan principalmente de subirte el animo con canciones movidas me he quedado anonadada. Me encanta

    "Everlasting Love" sounds like a Ariana Grande song. Both "Boss" and "Sledgehammer" sound like hit matieral. "This Is How We Roll" sounds too similar to Enrique Iglesias' tragic song "Turn The Night Up". There should be an full explicit version of "Them Girls Be Like", Something just sounds missing from the song. "Suga Mama" sounds similar to the 2006 hit "Remember Me (Walk Away)" by Paula DeAnda.

    I do not have words to say how perfect Reflection is. These contagious songs are all about to love yourself and be confident. The vocals are incredible, Normani has a powerful voice. I can not stop listening to Like Mariah, Reflection and We know. For sure Fifth Harmony is going to be the next big girl group. I am so proud of them!

    5 incredibly good singers + good production + catchy beats = Reflection.
    This is a good album, an excellent one if we consider that it is the first from 5H. It has some really cool concepts like the trumpets in BO$$ and the Arab-influenced sample in Worth It that give us that special feature in the album. I absolutely love this girl-power image that the lyrics transmit, it is a trend on    5 incredibly good singers + good production + catchy beats = Reflection.

I absolutely love this girl-power image that the lyrics transmit, it is a trend on music now and I think it is really nice for artists to spread this message of gender equality because it is one of the major issues of our society. Now back to music... 5H is THE girl band of the moment and they deserve . Can't wait to hear what is coming up.    … Expand

    It's great for a debut album.
    The infectious rhythms will not let you "sleep" during the songs, the ballad follows throughout the album and the vocals are wonderful.
    These girls really are to be congratulated, the production of the album compositions, dances ... Everything is perfect.
    I wish all the best for them because Fifth Harmony still won the world.

    The X-Factor girlband debut album is a mix of R&B and dance-pop that works

    Este álbum é muito bom, um álbum maravilhoso para o debut das garotas. Este álbum me lembra um pouco a sonoridade do "The Emancipation of Mimi" da Mariah Carey. A sonoridade dele é muito agradável, as melhores músicas do álbum são: Top Down, Going Nowhere, Suga Mama e Everlasting Love. Espero que no próximo álbum elas se superem e façam um ainda melhor.

    Esse álbum é simplesmente MARAVILHOSO! Fifth Harmony evoluiu muito desde o Better Together. Cada faixa desse álbum me faz sentir mais apaixonadas por elas (menos Body Rock porque é o câncer do álbum).
    Eu acompanho elas desde de Miss Movin' On, me deixa tão feliz ver elas evoluindo cada dia mais. Eu esperei muito por esse álbum e ele não me decepcionou.

Cada faixa mais dançante que a outra, cada faixa com bina com o estilo das integrantes e a idade certa para elas. Elas não quiseram ficar com cara de "Oba vamos fazer um álbum maduro para pagar de adultas!". Mesmo que elas não tenham ajudado na composição/produção do álbum, ele continua sendo um hinário e com certeza se elas tivessem trabalhado nele, seria mais hinário ainda.    … Expand

    Melhor album, salvação da geração, orgulho, x factor gerando idolos, sem comentarios. Muito bom o album, muito conceitual, não consigo parar de ouvir.

    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.
