    Selena has improved tremendously with this record. It feels like this is the first cohesive album she delivered that also includes a message. It's her first album i can actually appreciate as an album and not just individual singles really. I do find it interesting however that the standard and the deluxe version include slightly different versions of the standard track "Rise". In mySelena has improved tremendously with this record.

    Melhor álbum dela sem sobra de duvidas, superou todas as expectativas, o primeiro single foi uma ótima escolha, pois é uma música suave, que tem características R&B, sem falar em outras músicas muito boas que estão presente no álbum, entre elas se destaca Sober que é excelente e deveria virar single

    amazing album! It shows a different and truthful side of selena. The album reflects over everything about life, the album deserves album of the year.

    Probably one of the most basic, boring, and generic albums I've come across. No risks were taken, AGAIN, and A LOT of the songs are filled with autotune and generic beats, most likely to distract the listener from the fact that the singer CAN'T SING. She needs to just stop already and stick to acting or something.

    Claramente melhor álbum dela, maior orgulho. Músicas com letra, batida e harmonia. Arrasou, lacrou mesmo. Definitivamente a sucessora natural de Britney Spears. Selena nova pop princess, sambou com o álbum. Camouflage, Perfect e Nobody, as músicas perfeitas pra bad. Me & My Girls, Outta My Hands e Body Heat com aquelas batidinhas incriveis que lembram algo como latino, referênciasClaramente melhor álbum dela, maior orgulho. Músicas com letra, batida e harmonia.

    She didn't make an album for charts, she made for fans and for herself. We can feel her emotions, and her voice is better than never. The album has a great sound and a little bit of everything that Selena support, like God with "Nobody", girl power with "Me & My Girls" and the message in the lyrics of "Kill 'Em With Kindness" that we have to stop the fight and be mature because "no war inShe didn't make an album for charts, she made for fans and for herself.

It is just beautiful the way that she inspire what she believes. And we have the fun part of the album with some fast songs like Me And The Rhythm, Body Heat, Loco, Hands to Myself... This songs make the album more fun and it doesn't let the album became boring. I'm really excited to see Selena Gomez telling her stories now that she is in control of her life more than never.… Expand

    It has been transformed over time and showing what has come! "Revival" is really the triumphant return of Selena Gomez. The songs are quite addictive and enthralling. 10 without a doubt!

    SG devoted a lot in this job and it was worth. Revival is a masterpiece! I am very proud of the way that Selena has learned to use her talent in this album. She totally deserve the success and acclamation that this era is having.

    I've always had faith in Selena's genuineness. I've always loved her music and appreciated her carefree and fun way of being the soundtrack to my adolescence so for her to have reached her REVIVAL, it's something very important to my own growth. The album (especially the title track) speaks to me spiritually.

    This album is good but nothing that we've never heard! I think Selena finally find her tone and this album represents this!! My favorites are "Me & The Rhythm" and "Sober"!

    I used to love Selena's catchy pop songs (Naturally, A Year Without Rain, Love You Like A Love Song, Who Says, and the others which didn't become singles), but this album is a masterpiece, pretty much different than everything she released before.

    "Revival", "Kill 'Em With Kindness", "Hands To Myself", "Good For You", "Survivors", "Rise", "Perfect" and "Cologne" are songs that nobody could ever imagine she would record for this new era. I believe that "Sober", "Same Old Love", "Me & The Rhythm" and "Outta My Hands" are more predictable when it comes to Selena's albums, but they also sound quite amazing - by the way, I'm claiming for Sober as her new single!
    I'm head over hill with this album - it's one of my favorites from 2015.
    As she said, she's been taking singing classes during the years, and she finally proved everyone that she's better than before, and finally found her sound!    … Expand

    Selena está na melhor fase da carreira dela. Esse álbum é perfeitamente adulto e maduro assim como ela, as músicas são uma melhor do que a outra e totalmente viciante. Selena rainha como sempre, proud to be a selenator!

    De todas as músicas, no máximo umas cinco são boas. Totalmente decepcionante, chato e algumas músicas, quase todas, impossíveis de ouvir até o final. Album péssimo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Melhor trabalho da Selena, mas ainda deixa muito a desejar na questão de letras e vocais, apesar das melodias serem maravilhosas. Musicas como Revival, Sober, Cologne e Kill em With Kidness fazem do album interessante, mas músicas como Survivors, Outta My Hands(Loco), Me & The Rhythm e Hands to Myself que tem letras fracas e vocais sem estrutura enfraquecem o poder do album fazendo do mesmo um simples album pop bem produzido.… Expand

    She can't sing like this live and I don't like to hear fake voices. Selena should give up of being a singer, if you can't sing you aren't a singer, you are just a fake person trying to get extra money. Selena please get out of this industry and I will thank you forever.

    Revival is the best album of 2015. No joke, it's so pure and fresh. It's a must have! So Great!! From 'Revival' to 'Perfect' (bonus track) it has such a great feel, i felt what she was going through!

    Olha não gostei, achei todas as músicas parecidas e não vi nenhum tipo de amadurecimento, só salvo os singles e a maravilhosa Sober que é a única diferente mesmo. Mas no contexto geral é um péssimo albúm, conseguiu ser pior que o anterior e com certeza é o pior do ano, De nada.

    Song for song, Revival rivals Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion for breakout pop album of the year, but if it similarly falls short of greatness, it's due in large part to a lack of originality.

    There’s enough growth here to accept the occasional stumble. Revival, like ‘Good For You’, is a damn fine, hook-laden surprise. Selena Gomez has found a voice worth paying serious attention to.

    Revival is an audacious name for a 23-year-old singer's second album, but from start to finish, Gomez earns it. This is the sound of a newly empowered pop artist growing into her strengths like never before.
