    Romance é o melhor trabalho da Camila Cabello até agora. O álbum traz vocais impecáveis, letras incríveis, um conceito mesmo sendo clichê, consegui se destacar entre outros projetos sobre o romance. As que se destacam são: This Love, Bad Kind Of Butterflies e First Man.
    Ótimo álbum.

    We see a great evolution in their strongest compositions and their vocals fully prepared for what i would like to hear. Having a visual, artistic and versatile album picking up various styles and leaving it all cohesive is perfect. The evolution I expected in this girl, I had even more than I expected maybe that might have surprised me.

    she is a racist white woman that need to be quiet for a long time, this is trash and the only "good" song (no that much, only because she sounds like Marina & The Diamonds but cheap) is Cry For Me period

It's just like she said it would be, the perfect album about falling in and out of love, heartbreak, etc. I feel like every type of love pain and breakup has a song about it in the album and thats good since a lot of people like relating to a song.

    Un álbum que supera a su antecesor, pero aún así no se siente una coherencia en este trabajo, las canciones se sienten muy dispersas, y algunas se notan sobreproducidas como "easy", que usa por encima de lo aceptable el autotune. 67/100

    A step up for her songwriting and producing skills. I would have love for her to have one main producer for the whole album to keep it more cohesive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is about love, but not only the ethereal and beautiful side of it, like in "Living Proof", "Easy" and "Dream of You", but the obscure and harder parts of it. In songs like "Shameless", "Liar" and "Bad Kind of Butterflies", it shows the conflicting feelings that arise when you are in a relationship with someone, but you are thinking of someone else. In songs like "Feel It Twice" and "Should've Said It", it talks about the sadness and anger you experience when a person confesses their feelings towards you, but you don't feel the same. There are many other gems hidden in this album about other aspects of love, but ending this amazing sonic experience with "First Man" is going back to the start of it all, when you realize that no matter what happens in your life romantically, the man who truly will love you unconditionally, is your dad.

    El segundo álbum de Camila conmueve con todas esas baladas que tiene, el tema MY OH MY es de los que se te quedan pegados en la cabeza y no se te sale por nada del mundo

    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.
