Critic Reviews
Show All-
NME
Yes it may sometimes musically miss the mark; but with its strong and relevant message it’s something of a milestone for the band.
-
The Guardian
Padded it may be, but the strike rate is high enough for LM5 to prolong Little Mix’s career even further.
-
Music Connection
Although most of the bubble-gum pop tracks are filled with cliches and lack cohesiveness, the group manage to deliver powerful anthems that are worth a listen.
-
Celebmix
Their vocals once again all work exceptionally well together.
-
Independent UK
Ultimately, despite a few high points, LM5 is so scattershot, both thematically and musically, that it’s hard to find much to grab onto.

The Line of Best Fit
It stands apart from their previous albums in its boldness and precision.

It may not be the big bubbly pop album some fans want, but Jesy, Leigh Anne Perrie and Jade are really beginning to explore their sound and show us the music they want to make.

Little Mix’s fifth album is being presented as a bold new move into empowerment.

Little Mix has taken a risk with “LM5.” The group explores its style of music by deviating from its usual smooth harmonies.

Little Mix are continuing to teach the younger generations how to stand up for what they believe in and use their voices for good.

Church of Pop
After my first listen I heard nothing but WOMAN power.

Kelly Alexander Show
Overall, LM5 shows definite growth for the group, both in lyrics and production, and further proves they’re ready to mature to something new with the structural risks they’ve taken.

Thomas Bleach
I just wish this album had a little bit more honesty and didn’t hear them stepping away so drastically from who they were as artists.

It’s a breath of fresh air to hear such confident and fun pop, and only Little Mix could deliver it like that.

An evident theme throughout the entire record is female empowerment with woke af lyrics.

Qmunication Magazine
Whilst the band won’t win much for their lyrics, the album is certainly one to listen to as you dance around the kitchen. It’s a very fun album, and is there to help young girls feel empowered.

WRBB Radio
Possibly even more powerful than womanhood, Little Mix have always been about sisterhood.
-
Baby's Magazine
From start to finish, this album has feminism and self love written ALL over it. I have never felt so many positive emotions from listening to one artists work.
-
Fierce Fabulous Revolution
I believe that this album showcases the incredible vocals of Little Mix, as well as bringing us a variety of raw & emotional tracks.

The World News
Despite a few high points, LM5 is so scattershot, both thematically and musically, that it’s hard to find much to grab onto.
-
We Hear It
This girl group is constantly reinventing themselves while remaining extremely and unfairly talented.
-
Stack AU
There’s pop, there’s R’n’B, there’s hip hop, and there’s even a bit of Sisqo in this smashing latest from the all-conquering girl group.
-
Poptopic
LM5 is different than any of the band’s previous albums. There are no signs of bubblegum pop and it is lyrically more mature and honest.
-
I News UK
Their superior musical talents and similar swagger and smarts, it’s hard to imagine even the legends who inspired them could eclipse their own girl power.
-
The Music AU
overall is very hit and miss, Little Mix have great vocals but their direction on this album has let them down. As Simon Cowell has said many times before, “It’s a no from me.”
-
Metro News
The perfectly named LM5, hangs together better than last year’s Glory Days but still ricochets wildly between styles.
-
Got Meghan
The album itself was pretty good, it had a lot of different genres and topics mentioned so I definitely appreciated that a lot, but I think my favorite part was how mature their music is becoming with each album

LM5 does feel disposable, but it's not bad either, scraping by more on the group's talent than everything else around them.

Low on filler and high on quality pop that bridges a variety of sounds, LM5 is easily one of Little Mix’s best releases to date.

Comtrol Radio UK
Little Mix's best album to date. It has a grown up feel to it, next to no filler and even the songs that aren't quite as impressive and still a great listen.

Attitude UK
A step up for Little Mix. It may not be the big bubbly pop album some fans want.

The songs have strong lyrics, and a very independent vibe. It doesn't matter how many songwriters are on, they are actually doing a very good job in this one.
