As a whole, Blurred Lines is an album full of summer jams that deserve to linger long after the temperature drops.
70 Rolling Stone Original Score: 3.5/5 stars July 30, 2013
Thicke dulled previous LPs with expressions of angst--here, he makes a near-perfect summer record by acting like his life is as perfect as his hair.
70 Billboard.com Original Score: 70 Jul 30, 2013
The album finds the 36-year old singer trying to take advantage of his newfound spotlight by striving to become the full-fledged pop star he's never quite been.
70 All Music Guide Original Score: 4/5 stars July 30, 2013
"Take It Easy on Me" (produced by Timbaland and J-Roc), "Give It 2 U" (Dr. Luke and Cirkut), "Feel Good" (will.i.am), and the deluxe edition bonus cut "Pressure" (the Cataracs) are nothing like the title track's undeniable disco-funk groove, and not one of them is among Thicke's best. They do, however, lack desperation and help convey the album's prevailing casual, lighthearted feel.
61 Paste Magazine Original Score: 6.1/10 Jul 30, 2013
Thicke does his best with these tracks, hitting all the right sultry vocal notes, but really the beats and production aren’t doing him any favors.
50 Los Angeles Times Original Score: 2/5 stars Jul 30, 2013
Blurred Lines is a celebration of plasticine funk, warbly bass and plump booties.... Just as often, though, Thicke and his producers, which include himself and collaborators Pro J, Dr. Luke and Timbaland, dip from the cheesier realms of '70s pop.
