First reactions are in for Justin Timberlake’s new album – does it live up to the hype?

Justin Timberlake has dropped his new album Everything I Thought It Was and it’s safe to say fans think it’s bringing Sexy Back – but critics think its ‘about as sexy as a soiled mattress.’

The singer’s sixth studio album hit shelves today (March 15) featuring a new NSYNC song, Paradise, as well as controversial hit Selfish which ignited a feud with Britney Spears fans pushing her single with the same title back into the charts 13 years after its release.

It’s the first album the Mirrors artist, 43, has released since 2018’s Man of the Woods, and it has gone down a storm for the most part with listeners branding it a ‘masterpiece.’

User @jelden32 posted a reaction video to TikTok, calling it ‘flawless’ and imploring others to listen.
