Rolling Stone - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Adele has never sounded more ferocious than she does on 30 -- more alive to her own feelings, more virtuosic at shaping them into songs in the key of her own damn life." Rolling Stone - Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "[S]he's become a better singer in the years since 25, able to wrestle an almost impossible amount of emotional nuance out of one luxuriantly stretched-out syllable or Olympian octave leap, as she bends R&B history to fit her vision..." Billboard - "It's to her credit that a dozen years into her global superstardom, Adele still feels like the bestie confessing her most intimate, vulnerable thoughts over a glass (ok, several glasses) of wine. Let the countdown to 35 start now." Paste (magazine) - "[I]t's the powerhouse vocalist's finest outing yet....The pop superstar pushes herself in fresh directions on 30, her immaculate vocals flourishing more than ever amidst a diverse palette of sounds." Pitchfork (Website) - "Once again, Adele transforms her heartbreak into a searching, graceful, and incredibly moving album. But the complexity of her emotions and the nuanced production make this her most ambitious work to date."
