Reception
CountryMusicNews.de gives the album four out of five stars: Taylor puts on her third album again trendy preferences and shows that it 's been a surprisingly good songwriter. To conquer the world it will continue without any problems and thus with some strong hits from the new plant.
Laut.de gives the album three out of five points: " ... Let's sad, often joyful, but always pop, written fortunately from the 20 -year-old self. Welch ... welcome contrast to so many pressed on CD hot air of teen starlets, which was written by an armada of external songwriter. Although Taylor Swift with her own compositions does not reinvent the musical wheel, it rolls better than expected in the ear canals. "
Plattentests.de distributed four out of ten points: " ... Also, beautiful and successful minutes can be found in the lonely silence of the acoustic guitar of " Never grow up " in the subliminal rumbling sadness of " Innocent "and" Last Kiss ", a six minute, dreamy ode to a former lover ... The problem with "Speak Now" is the fact that too many songs anbiedernder, vulgar and rarely are as nice radio pop once more. It would be a travesty, with blunt pieces such as "The story of us", " Mine ," " Sparks fly" or " Long live" anywhere near words like country or folk to take by mouth. That's the kind of calculating charts music that Swift should definitely bring a breakthrough in Europe ... "
