  2. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The pop icon’s first album of new material in over 20 years aims to recreate the aspirational pop of her heyday — but for a very different era

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    As with her best material, it's an album to lip-synch for your life to. Print edition only

  4. 6.2 |   Pitchfork

    The singer’s first album in 15 years casts a fond glance back at the vintage sounds she made her name with, but a few new songs—including a Jack Antonoff production—bring her back to the present day

  10. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    With disco enjoying one of its periodic moments in the sun, a supremely classy 21st-century reboot was possible. But this isn’t it

  11. 4.0 |   Mojo

    On the plus side, Ross is in good voice, but as comeback albums go, this is an underwhelming affair. Print edition only
