    I loved this album so much that I hear all songs every single day. As a Brazilian, I've been feeling so happy, because they used the genre Bossa Nova in their title track, Alcohol Free. Love you, Twice.

    This album has shown how versatile they are and how talented they are when it comes to writing lyrics. Every song is a bop and even the title track’s genre is something you cannot typically hear from a kpop group yet they nailed it. Taste of Love is definitely a no-skip album.

    The best KPOP album of all times, all the b tracks written by the members JIHYO SANA NAYEON DAHYUN, listen to this album is a pleasure, it’s a summer album but with mature vibes, it’s so good that deserves “album of the year” in both USA and Korea.

    Their best album so far. Taste of Love is a cohesive, a very well produced album. The b-sides were all written by members and they did a very good job! Alcohol Free is a great title that represents the album and not to mention it's pretty different for Twice title tracks too. Definitely an ear worm and a great intro to the album.

Album has a very retro feeling which I really love and let's be honest Twice does retro so well. I also loved their previous retro works such as I CAN'T STOP ME, UP NO MORE and SAY SOMETHING. I totally would like to see more retro from them.
    The members vocals were on point and harmonies were amazing. The only downside is album's too short. I want to listen to this great piece of art work more but that's understandable in a streaming era.
    Best summer album this year. Deserves more recognition and appreciation! Thank you Twice!    … Expand

Bossa Nova genre is not something people assoicate Twice with, to be fact, BUT Twice truly embraces the sound with their flirty and sweet vocals and gives us the best summer song of 2020 'Alcohol Free'. The members participated in lyrics again and we're not bit surprised that they did so well. As a long time fan of Twice, I'm so proud of them. I love all the tracks from the album but my personal faves are S.O.S and Baby Blue Love.

    I could easily give TWICE a full 10 on this album but that would be very biased, especially because I am a once. Although the album is great, it is not as impressive as eyes wide open in my opinion (the album which I believe deserves a perfect score). However, I am in love with the b-sides.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album starts off with a chill bossa nova that doesn’t disappoint and goes into a classical summertime vibe, it gives me a feeling of a road trip with friends, starting off strong and colorful with alcohol free but leaping into the beats and drops of first time, tiptoeing on the horizons of scandal though it’s loud and brave it seems like it wants to be kept a secret, moving on into conversation that is just so simple, honest and flirty, basically jumping into the rink that is baby blue love skating through a high of it’s grooviness and lastly landing on SOS a train station- esque ride that gives a retro pop perspective that’s mellow but hopeful that rescue is on the way. I personally just love how the album is like a story of falling in love and the up and downs that come along with it. Twice continues to ride with their intellectuality for making fulfilling music that is never halfway but always complete. Definitely a force to be reckoned with!… Expand

    Taste of Love is yet again another proof of TWICE's ability to expand their versatility by exploring more there is with their sound. Considering that 5/6 songs were written by the members, this record incredibly showcases their ability to express feelings and give us a glimpse of love and passion as an answer to their past album "What is Love?" and this isn't even at their best.

    From Feel Special EP to Taste of Love, TWICE's evolution in music has become superior that it has made its way to international charts and critics. The fact that some people even think that their b-sides are better than the title track itself means that TWICE releases high-quality music regardless of the concept that they're portraying.

The fact that some people even think that their b-sides are better than the title track itself means that TWICE releases high-quality music regardless of the concept that they're portraying. Taste of Love signifies their versatility even further by having album tracks that don't dissapoint in every aspect; lyrics, musicality and etc. I would say that they have the most underrated b-sides not only in the South Korean Market but also in the entire music industry.… Expand

    Tatse of Love showcased TWICE's diversity in their music after the released of their second full album "Eyes Wide Open" last October. The album brought us a summer-y vibe with 5/6 songs' lyrics written by the members. The whole album gave you a feeling of relaxation but the last track, Cry For Me English version was such a blast, it's a good choice to add them in the album.

    All the songs on the album are incredibly catchy, my favourite one being First Time (written by member Jihyo herself). I'm very happy about the girls participating in the creative process, all of their self written songs have been proved to be the best, and the ones on this EP are not an exception. I'm proud of the girls, they worked so hard!

    Apart from the bossa-nova, Latin inspired title track, the whole album in itself boasts tracks with lyrics written by the members themselves. They deliver it like the rent is due, and thus it comes out as one of their top works in their stretching discography. This proves that they can be given any genre and still nail it.

    I went into this EP and not having a lot of high expectations other than it being a decent pop EP, and it was. On the opening track, "Alcohol-Free," we get this blend of bossa nova guitar-playing and electronic beats, which admittedly I found to be intriguing. But overall, that song wasn't particularly noteworthy compared to all of the other tracks.

But overall, that song wasn't particularly noteworthy compared to all of the other tracks. My favorite song on the EP, "Scandal," has a groovy bassline, catchy beats, and lyrics that are almost poetic in a way. For instance, in the hook, it goes: "Baby, we're scandal, way too hot to handle, you can't keep your eyes off, my love is like a candle." I think that using candles as a metaphor for short-lived relationships is very underutilized, in my opinion. My least favorite track, "Baby Blue Love," sounds like a bizarre déjà vu of a bunch of 90s dance-pop songs that I feel like everyone has heard before; so, it's kind of like "why are we here again?" Overall, I found this EP to be pretty enjoyable for its 17-minute run-time.

    Overall score: 7/10    … Expand

    Taste of Love is a good album, but it’s too “good” and not enough “wow” for its own good. TWICE can do better.

    ‘Taste Of Love’ is one of TWICE’s more powerful releases yet – despite a number of notable misfires – and showcases the group’s versatility in terms of vocals and concept execution.

    Taste of Love is one of TWICE’s most cohesive and dazzling albums thus far. It’s fun, mature and makes a great contribution to our current pop-sphere with its retro-sonic aesthetics and escapist feel.
