“In the past, it was sometimes hard to work out who Sabrina Carpenter was. Her early albums, like 2015’s ‘Eyes Wide Open’ and its 2016 follow-up ‘Evolution’, presented a young pop star trying to find her groove but instead getting lost in the trends of the time. It wasn’t until 2022’s ‘Emails I Can’t Send’ – Carpenter’s fifth album, but also the first where she had full creative control – that her ”
“These songs are usually filthy, always funny, often mean, yet she roasts herself along with everyone else”

“Sabrina Carpenter and summertime have a lot in common: a penchant for nostalgia, brash flirtatiousness, and now, Short n' Sweet. Before the season had even begun — and long into its BRAT-ification of bumpin' that to stronger stimulants — Carpenter kept us wide-eyed and energized with unexpected breakthrough single "Espresso," continuing her chart-topping reign with her first number one, "Please Pl”
“Hot off a string of singles that elevated her from all-grown-up Disney kid to chart-topping superstar, Carpenter’s sixth album demonstrates pop princess potential in great moments that don’t necessarily add up to a great record.”
“Short n’ Sweet feels like Sabrina Carpenter fully locking into her pop star confidence without losing the charm that made fans stick around in the first place. The album is playful, flirty, and sharp, but there’s real growth underneath the sugar. Her songwriting is witty and self-aware, the hooks hit effortlessly, and her personality shines on every track. As a fan, it’s satisfying to hear her sound this comfortable in her own lane. She is owning the moment, having fun, and still delivering emotionally when it counts. Sweet, smart, and surprisingly replayable.”
“Fantastic singles, some hits throughout, but a few misses as well. Feels like a pathway to its successor more than its own identity. Favs: Taste, Please Please Please, Coincidence, Bed Chem, Slim Pickins, Juno Meh: Sharpest Tool, Dumb & Poetic, Lie to Girls”
“This is one of the greatest rebranding ever. The country influence combined with pop just does something to me. It soo fun, the lyrics are smart and cheeky. You just wann skip when you listen to these songs. It’s truly short and sweet”
“The hits absolutely hit but the lesser songs on the album really bring it down. Nonetheless a really good album with lots of fun, sexy & catchy songs. Top ones are ‘Taste’ ‘Please Please Please’ ‘Bed Chem’ ‘Esspresso’ ‘Juno’”
“a fun, pop filled experience. i love how airy she sounds, it’s very entrancing and magnetic. my favorite tracks are definitely 15 minutes & don’t smile.”
“the most pop filled fun album of 2024 oh summer was so beautiful”
“Favs are: coincidence,Juno, busy woman, bad reviews”
