| The gist | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| PopMatters | 6/10 | 60 | “Katy Perry's 143 sounds out of step with current pop, and there isn't much here that is so eccentric and creative to justify the album's relative mediocrity.” |
| Riff Magazine | 6/10 | 60 | “Katy Perry returns with "143," her seventh studio album and the first collection of new material since 2020. Is it any good?” |
| Pitchfork | 4.5/10 | 45 | “Read Rich Juzwiak’s review of the album.” |
| Spectrum Culture | 40/100 | 40 | “Perry’s 143 attempts to capture the same lightning in a bottle she did on Teenage Dream. Though some tracks are enjoyable, the album is dated and plagued with elements that…” |
| Slant | 2/5 | 40 | “There are a few bright spots on Katy Perry’s ‘143,’ though none of them reach the singer’s peak output.” |
| Rolling Stone Australia | 2/5 | 40 | “The maximalist productions Katy Perry used to lord over feel as dated as a Vine” |

How the Breakdown works
Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
