    Cyrus was and presumably still is a weed girl — and “Endless Summer Vacation” mixes the kind of peaceful, easy feeling you associate with that sensibility with some very pure pop instincts. It’s not the kind of album you want to oversell; more definitive statements or craftier strings of singles may lie in her future. For now, though, it’s nice to see her succeeding more by sweating less.

    It all adds up to an album that holds your full attention even if it isn’t Cyrus’s boldest or most visionary. ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ certainly feels like an accurate reflection of who she is as an artist – and a person – in 2023.

    There’s a naturalness and a flow in evidence, and charm, too. You can’t imagine anyone who rushed to the download sites was disappointed with what they found.

    This release feels like she is fully embodying her own skin – this is a release that aims for timelessness in its own right, allowing the true, unfiltered Miley Cyrus to step into the sunlight.

    Cyrus excels most when she’s employing her voice to super-sell big ballads, and Endless Summer Vacation is no exception.

    Cyrus will probably never settle on just one or two sounds to express herself, but her voice and vision are strong enough on Endless Summer Vacation to suggest she'll never need to.

    Don’t get me wrong, Endless Summer Vacation is a good album with each track deserving of a listen, but in the same breath, the majority of them aren’t worthy of a replay either.

    Certainly her best album to date. It was worth the wait. Favorite songs: rose colored glasses and river for now.

She is always bring something else in the game. And this album has zero skip. Muddy Feet and River has stronf pieces. Violet Chemistry is the POP song you want to listen for long time. Jaded, Island and Wildcard growing super fast everytime you listening. But Handstand is another level of pop perfection. It's not something we see in Miley's discography. You, Wonder Woman, Thousand Miles has some pipes. They are slow but you can't skip them. Miley's mega hit Flowers is matching the album perfectly. Rose Colored Lenses is a definitely vacation song. You will enjoy while listening this at holiday! This summer will be better with Miley.… Expand

With ESV she mix and she bring back sounds that she has touched before but in a more elegant form. The fans are so happy that we could hear the best album from Miley till the moment and we hope that we could enjoy it live soon.… Expand

The theme of the lead single is seen throughout the rest of the album. However, some of the tracks are good for first listens but don't necessarily leave me longing for more. Muddy Feet for example, while it isn't necessarily a bad track, the feature doesn't fit the tone of the album or the rest of the song for that matter. Overall, the album is generally good but doesn't break any new ground for me.… Expand

    Extremely repetitive.
    She really tried to play it safe coming back to pop using sounds that other artist came up with first.
