"A spellbinding and necessary body of work: In many ways, In the Meantime feels like it completes a trilogy of albums chronicling both Cara's rise to fame and the unease that comes along with becoming a fully grown human being without your consent. The album is sonically and lyrically her best work yet, and proves that any process of healing is never black or white and does not exist on a straight line. "It's a lot of unlearning and relearning and tons of lapses along the way," she says. "I'm tapping into that freedom and feeling the most liberated I have ever felt"".

"Nearly every song on In the Meantime works through conflicting emotions with a profusion of metaphors. The approach is so common that it's striking when Cara switches tack on "You Let Me Down," a cathartic if casually delivered highlight that makes evident her ability to stun with simplicity ... From start to finish, lolling hooks flood Cara's mind as much as indecision, skepticism, and other negative thoughts. They make all the bad stuff go down easy, enabling the listener to have a proper sulk that soothes".

""What if my best days are the days behind me?" Alessia Cara wonders towards the end of her compelling third album. Given that the amiable Canadian won a Grammy when she was just 21 - for Best New Artist in 2018, a victory that provoked a cruel backlash - this hint of a quarter-life crisis is kind of understandable. But, thankfully, any lingering doubts haven't stopped Cara from making her most ambitious and surprising album yet".
