    Absolutely 0 skips, every little detail on used to this is a 10/10, like the trolley noises in the beginning referenced to san francisco, the clock ticking when she says “it’s gonna take me a minute” and the sound of the drink pouring & glasses clinking at “no i never did like tequila but there’s something bout when i see ya, think i need a drink”

    The entire album is phenomenal. Not a single bad song. This album shows growth and Camila’s unabashed vulnerability. It perfectly describes what it’s like to fall in love. The visuals on the physical copy are beautiful, and I can’t wait for tour.

    Conceito super original do que vemos atualmente na música pop. Arte de encher os olhos, músicas cheias de sentimento e originalidade, às quais Camila acrescenta como cereja do bolo sua linda e inconfundível voz. Sem dúvida um dos melhores álbuns do ano.

    Romance showcases all of Camila's growth, both lyrically and sonically.
    Used To This is a gem production-wise, Should've Said It an uptempo latin-driven hit and First Man the emotional highlight of the album.

    This album is one of the best this year without even being biased. It really shows her growth as an artist and songwriter and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Also it’s obvious that all the negative reviews are from hater from Stan Twitter.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can see that Camila Cabello improved so much since she released her debut album 'Camila'. One of my favorites songs has to be 'first man' whre she talks about her father and how he showed her what it's to be love and how to love someone else. It was just the perfect finish to an intense world of romance.… Expand

The growth she shows from 'CAMILA' in her songwriting, production, and vocals is very clear. this is not 'CAMILA' 2.0 this is ROMANCE. Because its different production wise some songs might be growers like "Living Proof' & 'Liar' (they were for me) so give it a chance because whether or not you like it they WILL get stuck in your head and you'll grow to like it. anyway 10/10 proud of her for being open and honest about the details and the lyrics actually get personal unlike 'CAMILA' which gives more of a story with the song writing.… Expand

    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.
