Composition
[edit]"I've never lived as much life as I did writing this album. It was messy and beautiful, unforgettable and at times so painful I wish I could forget.

Romance was met with generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received a weighted average score of 71 based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[69]
Matt Collar of AllMusic said that the album was about "Cabello feeling loved and seen by someone else" and "just as much about her seeing and understanding herself as an artist" while naming the record "compelling."[70] Chris Willman of Variety opined that "Romance is a record that "bumps her up a level as an artist, without trying to advance her into maturity too fast. Those closing tracks do set you up, anyway, for larger leaps." He named a majority of the album's tracks as being in "good-to-great range" and that she is "proving more expressive as a singer."[33] Adam White of The Independent considered the album a "marked improvement on the pick'n'mix anonymity of her 2018 debut", adding that while not everything works on the record, "there is an obvious through line connecting the majority of its tracks".[72] Kitty Empire of The Guardian named the album "giddy, frisky fun but not to the point of nausea."[76]
Writing for Rolling Stone, Lucas Villa named the album "revelatory" while feeling that Cabello deepened her songwriting on Romance.[18] Will Hodgkinson of The Times called the record "efficient pop that maximises the froth."[16] Irene Monokandilos of Consequence of Sound felt Cabello's "growth [was] on full display" and felt the record was at its best when in "riskier, seedier, quieter territory" but felt that she "plays it safe" and that it is "an album of mostly bark and scant bite." She ended her review by calling it "a solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that places growth at center-stage and keeps us wanting more without going limp."[77] In a mixed review, Hannah Mylrea of NME stated that the album "shines during these more upbeat, fun moments" but "is less successful when Cabello tries to show the side of romance where you're falling head over heels or doubting a relationship."[27] Writing for Pitchfork, Stefanie Fernández said the album "follows the same pristine pop cues" of her debut and "imbues them with a vision about love so universalized it blurs it out of focus". Fernández felt Romance "succeeds in tracks that capture love's fleeting minutiae", but the "inconsistent" production and "overproduced" songs leave "too much space where Cabello is overshadowed."[74] Chris DeVille of Stereogum named Romance "an overall stronger album than Camila but felt it was "a lot easier to like than to love" and that it was not as "transfixing as the love that inspired it."[78]
Neil McCormick of The Telegraph criticized the "recycling" of older songs and excessive use of auto-tune in the album, concluding that Romance is "state-of-the-art pop yet it lacks the real romance of music made from the heart."[75] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian deemed the songwriting "so-so" and questioned the production including the "distracting" use of auto-tune "not as a special effect but as a kind of cure-all lotion slathered over every syllable that passes Cabello's lips."[15] Chantel Ouellet of Exclaim! felt the album's "overall overproduction and focus on chasing an earworm makes it impossible to retain the authenticity found on her previous hits" while feeling that it "still relies on a structure that is becoming increasingly irrelevant, which ultimately overshadows many of the album's redeemable moments."[71]
Commercial performance
[edit]Romance debuted and peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 dated December 21, 2019, with 86,000 album-equivalent units, including 54,000 pure album sales, 30,000 stream-equivalent sales (resulting from 40.6 million on demand streams), and 2,000 track-equivalent sales.[79] Romance's streaming start is the third-largest streaming debut for a 2019 female pop album, behind Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next and Taylor Swift's Lover.[79] The album's debut numbers include sales from concert ticket/album and merchandise/album bundles.[79] The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in May 2020, for selling 1,000,000 album-equivalent units.
