"Spears tries on R&B lite on Private Show, one of Glory’s most explicitly sexy tracks that, to Spears’ credit, could’ve gone terribly wrong. The chorus’ sung/rapped invitation to “Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it” might be cringeworthy if the song took itself too seriously. But producer Young Fyre, also behind album highlight What You Need, keeps the song from veering into parody by going retro with a doo-wop swing that would make Meghan Trainor jealous. Plus, it’s a reminder that Spears, when she’s not reaching the rafters with her breathy cooing, has a growling lower register that doesn’t get used enough."
-USA TODAY that lists it as a TOP 5 ESSENTIAL TRACK
“The thrills on Glory come when Spears takes chances, like on the odd, swaggering ‘Private Show’, which pushes charming Motown through electronic trickery to create a weirdly good time."
-NEWSDAY
"Spears has a kooky side, as evidenced by her social-media postings, which include photos of fun with her two sons (Sean and Jayden, now 10 and 9) alongside shots of her and her “Piece of Me” dancers sticking out their tongues. (There’s also the occasional inspirational quote.) “Glory” honors that impulse with campy tracks like “Private Show,” fronted by a winking, bravado-filled performance that makes one wonder what Spears would be like at a karaoke bar, and the horn-accented “What You Need,” which could be a revue’s show-closing “Toxic” reprise."
-Boston Globe
ATRL, wrong and without taste. Again.

I have this feeling a VERY negative review is coming for some reason.

They need to get more copies out there tbh.

Jokes aside, I am seeing a fair amount of people saying it's sold out or they got the last copy.

It's only hated by those who like "quick little hits" and "generic pop".
Private Show is for those who appreciate ACTUAL art and masterpieces. Private Show is for the generation who admired and appreciated the sound of Motown and understood how important that time was for music. It only makes sense that Britney tip her hat to her influencer Michael Jackson. He would be proud of this artistic masterpiece.

I love Private Show! I wasn't too fond of it at the beginning but it grew on me so much.

Good afternoon, Mr. Needham--
I hope this doesn't sound as wildly unnecessary as it probably will, but for some unknown reason Alex Macpherson's delovely review of Britney Spears' new album (http://bit.ly/2bv1cHz) doesn't seem to be filed as such on your site, and thusly will not be eligible to be counted on Metacritic. This is, of course, despite the fact that said piece is most certainly/obviously a--you guessed it!--review. (Reads like either a 4 or 4.5 out of 5 to my eyes. Probably the former.)
A lifelong fan of Britney, I certainly hope you as the assumed editor of the Music section will please, please make the quick edit behind the scenes so that it is filed with the rest of the Album Reviews and thusly submitted toward her MC score. It'd make me/a LOT (this can't be understated) of other fans incredibly happy.
Thanks so much!
Warmly,
Kelley
