Ana Laura (album) Last updated May 26, 2025 Critical reception Ana Laura garnered a generally positive reception from music critics . At CCM Magazine , Robert Mineo was critical of the lack of soul in her vocals, but noted that "The production is clean as a whistle and the singing displays better than expected command over an impressive set of pipes." [ 2] Justin Mabee of Jesus Freak Hideout said she has much learning yet to do, but wrote that "She shows her talent in different genres throughout her self-titled debut, like jazz, rock, and especially piano-based tunes." [ 5] At Christianity Today , Andree Farias stated that "Ana Laura is a nostalgic reminder of why we liked pop divas to begin with, and perhaps may encourage its fanciful heroines to get back to what first made them popular." [ 3] Trevor Kirk of Cross Rhythms highlighted that "the album is stuffed full of radio-friendly, easy-to-listen-to, classy pop; though its strong American production flavour won't appeal to all Brits." [ 4]
