| The gist | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Rolling Stone Australia | 4/5 | 80 | “Miley Cyrus discovers motivations on 'Bass Persuades' that are far removed from the spectacle of the spotlight that once motivated her most.” |
| Paste | C+ | 78 | “Paste Magazine is your source for the best music, movies, TV, comedy, videogames, books, comics, craft beer, politics and more. Discover your favorite albums and films.” |
| Riff Magazine | 6/10 | 60 | “Miley Cyrus remains most convincing when she stops trying to fit in. 'Bass Persuades' offers several reminders of how compelling that can be.” |
| musicOMH | 3/5 | 60 | “Marking her 10th album under a new moniker, the former Disney star's latest artistic reinvention is as intriguing as it is muddled Marking her tenth album under a new moniker,…” |
| Pitchfork | 5.3/10 | 53 | “Read Hattie Lindert’s review of the album.” |
| Spectrum Culture | 50/100 | 50 | “After a daring and impressive ninth album, Miley Cyrus rebrands by going back to basics with a boring, cliched release that’s often unpleasant to listen to.” |
| Slant | 2.5/5 | 50 | “The album’s abrupt shifts in genre and tone never allow you to settle in and get a firm grasp on what Miley’s vision might be.” |

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.
