    Esse menino não tem um pingo de personalidade, vive agora a sombra de um relacionamento fake, uma pena, talentoso mas não sabe desenvolver e inovar dentro do próprio nicho.

    I love Shawn Mendes and I was really excited when I heard Wonder and the Intro from the netflix , but the rest of the album is really disappointing, it so flat compare to his other ones. Sorry to say this but his illuminate album his voice is so so so much crisper and mesmerizing

    I used to be a fan of Shawn and enjoy his music but this is album is one of the worst I’ve ever heard. It’s absolutely dreadful. I’m glad I could give it a zero because a 1 would be too high. Truly atrocious and I’m deleting it from my library immediately.

    Álbum previsível, não tem nada de ousado, limitando-se à produções e vocais típicos de trabalhos antigos dele como fórmula de engajamento, perda de tempo

    As a big Shawn fan, I was very excited for this album but overall I am very disappointed. Vocally I think Shawn is the best that he has been but it is really hard to get past the juvenile repetitive lyrics. I actually think lyrically it is his worst album yet. Production wise, it has its hits and misses.

    Bland pop music to give an outstanding lead single this was a let down, it seems Shawn tried to combine the appeal of Lover x folklore and we arrived at this. Not just that but the track with Bieber would have been stellar if it wasn’t for the guest feature

    Just a little bit different of the usual works of Mendes, when he'll give to us something really new? And the track 12 can easily use to describe Joe from ''YOU", its like " i'm a totally addicted on you, toxic and jealous but whats matters its that i love you"

    I thought this was gonna be different but it’s just so basic, like get some better writers and producers

    so boring, I felt asleep with the track 5, the same things he did with his other 3 albums

    In many ways, the album feels like a self-parody of what Shawn has come to appear like. The instrumentals, lyrics all have a sense of seriousness that has a complete lack of self awareness. Even when this maximalist type of rock music was popular, it just doesn't feel fun. Oddly enough, my favorite song is the Bieber collaboration, considering how understated and relatively simple it feels.

    Nothing innovative, the same formula as always, sounds to the same debut album in a remastered version, for when reinvention? The iconic? Something that makes it unique. Until that moment comes, he won't stop being just a pretty guy.

    Más de lo mismo, a este tipo lo siguen por su atractivo físico, ya que su música deja MUCHÍSIMO que desear.

    How is he 4 albums in and still has no idea what his sound is, this is varying degrees of mediocre forgettable pop.

    Very bad! Annoying and repetitive reminded me of another singer's album that is on that same album the "changes" of JB

    um álbum preguiçoso, sem vida e sem alma. Shawn tenda fazer algo diferente depois de todos os álbuns quase idênticos e mesmo assim cai na mesmice e mediocridade.

    esse é uns dos álbuns mais sem graça e sem personalidade que eu ouvi nos últimos tempos, esse álbum parece uma música só durante 40 minutos, parece que o Shawn Mendes vem fazendo a mesma coisa nos últimos anos, com as músicas super repetitivas e sem graça, forçando conceito e coesão aonde não tem, sem falar que liricamente esse álbum é fraco demais.

    Shawn Mendes nos trae un álbum lleno de “nuevos sonidos y nuevas letras” Seamos honestos, las letras si son un poco más maduras a todos sus trabajos anteriores ... el error más grande de Mendes es seguir en los mismos sonidos... suena igual todo el álbum, mala elección de singles ( las 2 peores del álbum), al darme el tiempo de escuchar el álbum, es como si volviese a oír Hardwritten enShawn Mendes nos trae un álbum lleno de “nuevos sonidos y nuevas letras” Seamos honestos, las letras si son un poco más maduras a todos sus trabajos anteriores ... el error más grande de Mendes es seguir en los mismos sonidos... suena igual todo el álbum, mala elección de singles ( las 2 peores del álbum), al darme el tiempo de escuchar el álbum, es como si volviese a oír Hardwritten en una versión madura.

    As letras são muito fracas, repetitivas, não traz nada muito inovador, as melodias se constroem bem porém a letra não acompanha.

    I love Shawn as a person but he needs a new personality for his music career. He is a talented person but he keeps making the same music. We asked for originality before the release of his highly anticipated lead single "Wonder". He shocked me with the song, Album is overall great, not his worst but also not the best work.

Only two songs are different than the other ones and I think if he makes them singles, he will get the coins. I'm kinda disappointed about the whole thing because the album is not showing any growth I was waiting. He is telling the same thing always: boy is lost, trying to find the girl, boy loves the girl but they cant love each other happily. We heard this story, we need another. I hope he finds his path with SM5. Expand

    he doesn't take any chances, he's doing the same thing, he really needs to look for new sounds. I get very angry because women need to be innovating with each album and men always in the same thing

    After all the experiences he had on his self-titled album tour, this record still sounds the same. No artistic growth, no great lyricism, just plain pop songs with mediocre harmony and cliché melody.

    While the slower songs are fine, sometimes sincere, the growth on Wonder is all evident on the livelier tunes, all of which point toward a more adventurous twenties for Shawn Mendes.

    While “Wonder” is at times overambitious and overwrought, it does feel like the last stop on a particular journey. Mendes can’t sound much bigger than this without going full Adele, so what might come next is wide open.

    Mendes spends nearly every minute bowled over by the power of love. It’s nice to see his cup overflow so bountifully, but the near-constant awe quickly grows tiresome, especially when conveyed through clichés like, “Your body’s like an ocean, I’m devoted to explore you” and, “You’re my sunlight on a rainy day.”
