This album is soaked in love and the lyrics hit you straight in the heart. His vocals are transcendent and show how he has matured and worked hard on his voice. This is on constant rotation for me and I can't see that changing soon. The deluxe version gives a heap of live versions as well as the gorgeous "Christmas Song" with duet partner and real life love Camila Cabello as well as "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" from the BBC Live Lounge, one of the major inspirations for his new sound, that is just sublime. Quarantine did this boy a favour, and I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve next. Expand

    This is Shawn's best album, as he said it is like a part of it. This is different from the first three, it is more mature, it is about freedom, about not being attached to what the media wants to hear or what people they’re used to it, it was what he wanted to do and I’m very proud of how it turned out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “Wonder” marks a significant departure from every work Mendes has done in his past studio albums: full cohesive album, great production, outstanding vocals and interesting tracks, some of them quite surprising. Some sonorously wise and peculiar tracks include the Beatle inspired and vocally impressive “Song For No One”, the fun 60’s inspired Miami tribute “305”, “Always Been You”, which can be easily interpreted as a journey into Mendes’ and the singer-songwriter and Mendes’ girlfriend Camila Cabello relationship progress, and “Look Up At The Stars”, a pop rock ballad and fan tribute track. Other highlights in “Wonder” are the spicy and teasing “Teach Me How To Love” and the Everly Brothers inspired “Dream”. The acoustic and love letter kind “Can’t Imagine”, which appears as the final track, might not have been the correct ending for the album, but Mendes chose to give his audience a soft and calming closure. Lyrically, Mendes’ fourth studio album is fine, but the 22 year-old musician got way more potencial than we are able to check. Besides that, Mendes explores a side of himself never seen or heard before. It’s safe to say that the Canadian singer-songwriter has got a brilliant future in music, and “Wonder” shows itself as a guarantee to that future. Expand

    I honestly really liked this new album. I loved it there are several songs that make you dance and sing at the top of your lungs, I definitely loved it. Although there are some songs that don't make you feel "magic", for that alone I give it a nine.

    Wonder apresenta uma experiência cinematográfica, ao invés de mais um álbum convencional numa prateleira. É evidente que Mendes nasceu para criar música. Ao longo das 16 faixas da versão (Holiday Deluxe), os vocais suaves se unem com piano e guitarra, com o intuito de expressar suas angústias e seus intensos desejos.
