    Blurred Lines is an album full of summer jams that deserve to linger long after the temperature drops

  2. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    He makes a near-perfect summer record by acting like his life is as perfect as his hair
    Read Review

  3. 7.0 |   All Music

    Contains a motley assortment of high-gloss dance tracks seemingly made for pop-chart contention
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   Billboard

    Finds the 36-year old singer trying to take advantage of his newfound spotlight by striving to become the full-fledged pop star he's never quite been

  5. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The album's first half is one of the year's sweetest pop bliss-outs
    Read Review

  6. 6.7 |   AltSounds

  7. 6.1 |   Paste Magazine

    Thicke does his best with these tracks, hitting all the right sultry vocal notes, but really the beats and production aren’t doing him any favors

  8. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Blurred Lines loses its charm when it stops trying to resurrect Michael Jackson
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Q

    May lack subtlety but makes up for it with his irresistibly inappropriate hits. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    The song’s jittery funk is something genuinely different, regardless of the controversy over its sleazy lyrics and nudity-packed video, so it’s a shame that the rest of the album is more generic

  11. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    There’s not quite another radio-friendly sunny beauty like the title track jumping out here

  12. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Thicke, punchable or no, can navigate his way around a pop song
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    The positive qualities are overshadowed by his blunt-instrument romantic technique
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   The Observer

    Some of these tunes are passable party pabulum but Thicke is such a total tool that it gets in the way of any fun
    Read Review

  15. 4.0 |   The Independent

    Musically it's too predictable to make much of an impression
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   The Quietus

    His fusion of EDM-lite beats, synthetic salsa, neo-soul, vocal autotune and modern R&B leaves a confused impression of this wannabe lothario
    Read Review

  17. 2.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    An almost fascinatingly charmless collection of bog-standard sub-Timberlake nu-disco and R&B-pop

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking

Different Talking feels like Frankie Cosmos finally coming into its own. By self-producing, the band articulates a broader sound palette than on 2022’s Inner World Peace Northern Transmissions
