No. 6 Collaborations Project/Ed Sheeran
Overall, ‘No 6 Collaborations Project’ is an eclectic mix of songs, some familiar, some forgotten after the first listen and some deeply impactful. Refreshing as it whirs away from Ed Sheeran’s tried and tested formula of love songs, it’s worth a listen to catch those glimpses of experimentation. --Clash Music

Ride me back home /Willie Nelson
Who says growing old can't be fun? Willie Nelson makes it sound like a gas on Ride me back home, his latest LP and one of the best in the living legend's long and storied catalogue....the octogenarian has as much grit and vigour as country stars a fraction of his age. Indeed, Nelson performs so deftly on Ride Me Back Home that you'll feel the urge to ask this aged outlaw to hop back in the saddle for yet another spryly exciting ride.--Exclaim

Madame X/Madonna
While this thick, heady confluence of cultures and sounds may demand concentration, Madame X not only amply rewards such close listening, but its daring embrace of the world outside the U.S. underscores how Madonna has been an advocate and ally for left-of-mainstream sounds and ideas throughout her career. --All Music

Happiness begins /Jonas Brothers
the low points are so few-and-far-between that they’re nearly forgotten once you get to the zesty, one-two punch finale of “Rollercoaster” and “Comeback.” For each hotly produced track tells a tale as torrid as it is tragic with romantically reminiscent takes on what it genuinely (aw) means to be a happy family with as many bumps and bruises as it has harmonies and victories.--Variety

Let's rock /Black Keys
The album's style initially seems to steer starkly away from the band's catalog, particularly in returning to the Black Keys' DIY and self-production ethos. That's where its "gems" lay, by returning to their stylistic roots and incorporating recent projects and efforts, the Black Keys have delivered on the album's promise and in review, this is a strong rock album: lyrically moody and musically loud.--Popmatters
