| Spectrum Culture | 82/100 | 82 | “Building on many of the tropes and themes established on her debut, Guts shows just how snarky, smart and self-aware Olivia Rodrigo and her songwriting are.” |
| Riff Magazine | 8/10 | 80 | “What do Avril Lavigne, Jack White and Taylor Swift all have in common? All three are in the DNA of "GUTS" by Olivia Rodrigo.” |

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.
