    I think a lot of ppl underrate her talent just bc she's Mexico. Beautiful album.

    Having just heard "Familia", her latest release, made me finally check her discography and find she's only able to get two or three good songs per release. Her fans mass giving 10s to her albums here won't change that.

    "Romance" operates as Camila's roots grabbing what works and perfecting them. The hits are dazzling and her voice has noticably improved. The ballads leave much to be desired though.

    Great album but could have been better without songs like First man and Dreams of you. Shameless is a wonderful surprise on this album.

    This sophomore record by Camila Cabello shows potential but lacks the honesty of a true romantic record. It’s far from Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You or even her romantically-experienced peer like Taylor Swift. The production is fresh, far from the current hype when it comes to pop music. At this point, Cabello’s stronget suit is her Latinpop influence, but she needs to work on herThis sophomore record by Camila Cabello shows potential but lacks the honesty of a true romantic record.

    I just heard she released her 2nd album and i'm disappointed. The use of auto-tune is worse than her first album. So no i didn't enjoyed listening to this album.

    Simply put: It wasn't good. Her debut had a fresh sound, but Romance just capitalizes on her debut's success and the sound of its successful tracks. It seems like she had no artistic growth. I'll give her a credit for the aesthetics, though.

    As melodias, os arranjos e as letras são perfeitas, o crescimento dela é nítido.

    coherence, cohesion, visuals. This album is perfect, an impressive evolution of the artist who is camila cabello, and all this before our eyes for her is the relative new artist. Matched with a melodic, musical quality of her composition. camila ARTIST

    Romance is my favorite Camila album. It is a romantic and beautiful journey, discovering all aspects of love. It is my favorite album of all time. It's amazing how unique and wonderful each song on this album is. Easy is the best. I love this album very much.

    Camila has done it. She has done a sophomore album that significantly outshines her debut album. Her vocals are flawless and shows us the exact reason why she was the star of 5th Harmony. She has it all! The hate she receives online is ridiculous just because the fans of the other girls are jealous. Please have a listen to the only ex member that knows how to sing!

    Cabello’s willingness to assist in [the music industry’s embrace of the “Latin” sound] caricature elsewhere distracts from the otherwise interesting Spanish-classical and Santana-esque riffs on Romance.

    Throughout “Romance,” the pop machinery clicks cleverly and efficiently into place around Cabello’s voice. The productions tend to be sparse — spooky electronic sounds, an occasional acoustic or electric guitar, hefty but discreet drums — and even where the choruses ratchet up, Cabello’s voice often stays close and confiding.

    Romance is a solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that places growth at center-stage and keeps us wanting more without going limp.
