Adele is one of the most iconic and successful artists of her generation, with each of her albums receiving massive acclaim and resonating with millions of fans around the world. After a brief hiatus, Adele made her highly anticipated return with 30 in 2021, following the success of her previous albums that shattered sales and chart records.
While Adele’s albums are all celebrated, they’ve also been carefully reviewed by critics, which is why we’ve rounded up her entire discography ranked by their Metacritic scores. For those unfamiliar, Metacritic uses a unique ranking system where it aggregates critical reviews and assigns a “Metascore” to summarize the general consensus. This score is based on the weighted average of ratings from a wide range of respected critics.
