Meghan Trainor slog stort igennem sidste år med det jazzede, big band-inspirerede r&b-nummer "All about that bass" og albummet "Title". Succesen har været massiv, så da Embrace skulle optræde i årets X-faktor-finale var et af Meghans andre numre "Like I'm gonna lose you" et naturligt valg. Denne opfølger er efter Meghans eget udsagn inspireret af Elvis Presley og Aretha Franklin, men det er svært at høre. Doo-wop lyden og lyrikken er opdateret, og Meghan Trainor prøver nu at lyde som en moderne r&b-kunstner med selvbevidste, feministiske statements. Problemet er blot, at terrænet allerede er afsøgt af Britney Spears og Beyoncé, som gør det bedre, så i sidste ende fremstår hun som en svag afglans af disse.

"Thank You turns into something less than the sum of its parts almost entirely due to the Trainor's tunnel vision. She's smart to keep things light and positive -- it's a deliberately youthful sound in an era that yearns for maturity -- but by working the same territory so carefully, the seams in her construction are difficult to ignore".

"Thank You is an interesting album in that it shows musical growth for Meghan Trainor while simultaneously moving her closer to the more homogenous sound of mainstream pop. It's not great by any means, but it is definitely catchy and easy to sing along with; strong qualities for pop music".

"Trainor just isn't a convincing pop star. While the Britney-lite lead single No has its moments, most of the other songs are identity-free filler".
