criticism

Simon Cage of the Daily Express gave the album a mixed three out of five stars, stating, “Lady Gaga's talent ensures that the same album is sold over and over again. […] That’s great, […] but at some point it’s enough! ”. Reviewing the piano version of Poker Face, music critic JD Considine stated, “The best song on their new remix album - their second album in nine months - not all songs are remixes, but Poker Face's piano version shows your inner Elton John . This shows Lady Gaga for once of her better image , but it doesn't make her brilliant. "Matthew Richardson of Prefix Magazine gave mixed feedback on The Sound of Arrows Remix by Alejandro , saying that they" made the remix a lot worse than it did is the original version of Gaga, and her musical style does not match the Latin pop song Alejandro ”.
