Spin - "[I]t remains revelatory in a strict sense; it's a musical step sideways but an artistic step up. For once, Rihanna is drawing on whims rather than characters, uncertainties rather than pronouncements, her own desires rather than the desires of her audience." Entertainment Weekly - "ANTI proves Rihanna should play by her own rules more often." -- Grade: A- Paste (magazine) - "ANTI resists so many boxes and labels -- all of them, in fact. It's the kind of intimate creation so specific to its artist -- like a Frieda Kahlo self-portrait, or Virginia Woolf's memoir writings -- that you can't believe how much you identify with it." Clash (Magazine) - "It's the full-length experience that makes ANTI such a rebellious move."
