    Álbum está realmente incrível, trouxe ótimas composições e produções. Wonder e Monster foram ótimas amostras.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 'Wonder' mostra que Shawn Mendes só evolui, nesse novo trabalho é completo e coeso, tão gostoso que da para manter em loop. A faixa inicial faz uma conexão boa entre a "Intro" e o single que dá nome ao álbum. "Higher" é a canção que facilmente poderia está na trilha sonora de um musical da Disney e a batida que as vezes faz lembrar do funk 'Parado No Bailão' do MC L da VInte, chega a ser cómico. As faixas seguintes da aquela sensação de está numa montada-russa, mas fazendo uma semiótica da capa, atrevo-me a dizer que é como entrar no oceano e nadar mais fundo e as vezes ter que ir a superfície pegar um ar. "305", é uma vibe gostosa e dançante, da até para tocar uma guitarra imaginaria. "Look Up At The Stars", é a canção feita para os fãs, da aquele gostinho de está no show e ligar a lanterna do celular. E o SM4 termina com "Can't Imagine", no qual o ultimo verso ele diz 'Legal, isso é bom por agora.'. Hmm... mas eu quero mais moço. Expand

    I really like this album. Shawn is trying new sounds (for him) while approaching his first love. Favorite songs are piece of you, monster and higher.

    Amazing, he’s matured and he is finally making better music. I can see he has grown since his last album, this is definitely his best one yet

    This album is incredible. From the first time I heard it, I fell in love with the instrumentals and the beautiful lyrics of the songs. Shawn was extremely vulnerable and honest on that album. It's amazing to see how he matured so much over the years, even though he was so young. He's a very talented young man and Teach Me How To Love deserves to be the next single!

    Com o Wonder, Shawn entregou um dos melhores álbuns do ano e o melhor de sua carreira. Fica claro o amadurecimento artístico dele através das composições e da sonoridade explorada no álbum, misturando sons de baixo com sintetizadores, fazendo uma harmonia perfeita com a mistura de diferentes instrumentos. A produção ficou sensacional e os vocais continuam ótimos como de costume. Os grandesCom o Wonder, Shawn entregou um dos melhores álbuns do ano e o melhor de sua carreira.

    Mendes' 4th studio album is his best to date. With songs like "Piece Of You" and "Dream" Mendes has truly shown how much he has grown as an artist

    This album is amazing! Very different from Shawn's previous albums. All the songs sound so different and I love that he experienced more with this album. His voice has gotten so much better since his last album and I absolutely LOVE all the high notes we can hear in Song For No One and Dream for example.

    This is a beautiful album filled with surprises from one record to another. It's a big departure from his past albums and shows his growth. It's filled with influences from past decades from Frankie Valley to the Beatles to Michael Jackson to Bruno Mars. Drum swells, synthesizers, and orchestras add to the grandiose feeling of album, while the lyrics remain intimate and vulnerable.

    The evolution of Shawn in music is evident. He managed to make an album with a roller coaster of feelings, you find everything you need in it, being a sound for a summer afternoon or a rainy and calm day. The proof that an album doesn't need a lot of grand feats to be good enough, its tracks do it all by themselves.

    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.”
