    This is by far the best album Shawn Mendes has created. Lyrically, sonically and vocally, it's a huge leap forward and reflects his personal and artistic growth. The production is impeccable and the more you listen to it, the more details you get to notice and appreciate. The album is just full of incredibly well-writen and well-executed songs reflecting the wonder of being human. Shawn'sThis is by far the best album Shawn Mendes has created.

The album is just full of incredibly well-writen and well-executed songs reflecting the wonder of being human. Shawn's raw, open and vulnerable, covering a plethora of themes, from love and friendship to insecurities, fame and the connection he has with his fans. My personal favorites are Higher, Teach Me How To Love, Piece of You and Always Been You. Expand

    If I could have given 11/10 I would have. This album just proves how he continues to grow I mean the production ????? **** amazing. No skip, everything has its own style but it's still so cohesive. PLUS ending an album with "Cool, that's good for now" I- I can't even describe how much I love this album

    it is a different sound of what he have heard before from shawn but it is still so shawn mendes, the vocals on this album are amazing and so dreamy and i could say the same for the production, the beat drops and beat changes in almost every song make the album more exciting and amazing that it already is, i also believe that is an album meant to be played on huge arenas or stadiums

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Shawn Mendes is showing the music world a different side of him as a musician and a human being.
    Starting with the Intro and the title-track Wonder he gives us listeners a preview of what the album is about. Every following song has a different style sonically and lyrically. The production and the vocals on each track are awesome and always surprising. His last albums were great but he really outdid himself with this one.

    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.”
