"If ever there was a sonic surgeon you'd want holding a scalpel to your favourite song, it would be Adam Lambert: he knows where to cut to let his seductive style seep deep ... That's the expert at work, an experienced musician as Lambert is working with top producers such as Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, Carly Rae Jepsen), Andrew Wells (Halsey, OneRepublic), and more to create a record that is beyond a covers album: it is an experienced display of composition, and how to reframe music to new audiences".

"High Drama is such an ideal title for Adam Lambert, a singer who specializes in grand, overheated gestures, that it comes as a slight disappointment to realize that it arrives in service of a covers album. Thankfully, Lambert doesn't take his task lightly here: he takes pains to give the 11 songs on High Drama distinctive arrangements that clearly delineate his version from the original. Also, he doesn't stick to classics, either of the canon or cult variety".
