A reminder of LP1's critical reception.

LP1 received negative reviews. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 44 out of 100, which indicates "mixed or average reviews" based on seven reviews.[29] It was the worst reviewed album with seven reviews or more of 2019 on the site.[34]

Helen Brown of The Independent wrote "he's got a nice set of pipes. He gets the songs across. But without imposing any personality on them he's just, well, a singing six-pack" and that "it's all fine: shiny and efficient pop, smelling of body oil and new car upholstery. But Payne treats each track like a rental car. He gives each song a spin and hands the keys back like a good lad without leaving a trace," ending the review by stating "he's gone from One Direction to One Dimensional".[32] 

Mark Kennedy, writing for ABC News, called the album "embarrassing" while writing that the album "never really gets off the ground, a collection of monotonous club songs that often sound like warmed-over Justin Bieber rejects."

He further criticised Payne's decision to add "offerings [that] are more than two years old" and the fact that Payne only co-wrote four songs, although he did compliment "Stack It Up".[35] 

Laura Snapes of The Guardian opined that it is a "terrible pop album, but very effective contraception".[1] Michael Cragg, also of The Guardian, called the album "genre-ticking anonymity" and "occasionally painful yet weirdly Payne-less."[36] 

El Hunt of NME felt Payne was "so focused on ticking boxes that he forgets to have fun" and that it "shows a more grown-up side to the former One Direction member, and cherry-picks from pretty much every genre that's in vogue right now. The problem is that it doesn't tell us much about Liam Payne" while particularly talking down on "Both Ways".

Rawiya Kameir of Pitchfork was critical, calling Payne "another pop star flailing to find his identity amid trend-hopping production and half-baked lyrics" and that "listening to LP1, you almost feel sorry for Payne. It's maybe more pathetic to have failed not for risking too much, but after seeming to have tried so little."[33]

Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic wrote that Payne "tackles hip-hop and electronic genres but struggles to distinguish himself from the crop of similar-sounding contemporaries" and that a majority of the songs "sound more like a streaming playlist set to shuffle" while adding that the album is "front-loaded with mostly forgettable trifles."

A.D. Amorosi, writing for Variety, opined that "the writing and singing aren't strong enough and come across as C-level Timberlake material" while ending the review by saying "during 'Home with You', one of Payne's better singles not included on this album, the singer claims: 'Too many cooks in the kitchen / Too many fools here listening / Why don't we find somewhere quiet, quiet.' Liam Payne should have taken his own advice."[37] 

Lauren Murphy of entertainment.ie called the songs "indistinguishable" and the album "a wasted opportunity" and "dull", noting that the album "sounds like a collection of songs – not a cohesive album".[38] 

Thomas Green, writing for the i, stated that "One Direction's devoted fans will love this, but nobody else will" while commenting that the album "should make lots of money. Not much else about it seems to matter to Payne."

The fact that these posts are from 2 FUCKING YEARS AGO is crazy to me... We're really still the same. We never gave up. We never lost hope. We're still waiting for a reunion that's never gonna come.

We are DIRECTIONERS.

Addendum: it's ok if u never went to the clubs, bc you can still have the spirit of clubbing within u. this is achievable. and yet some of yall still fail.

maybe the reason y'all didn't like lp1 was because y'all had no social lives and never went to the clubs

Not that you can believe everything the sun says, but it doesn't sound far off https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/12630251/liam-payne-career-blow-second-album/

Oh, man.

[…]

We have been told plans to release his long awaited second album - his first since 2019’s LP1 - have been quietly put on ice after his first single from the record, Teardrops, failed to chart back in March.

To make things harder for Liam, his day-to-day manager is no longer working with him after parting ways earlier this year.

Those closest to Liam are concerned he has been left floundering, with no one watching out for him.

[…]

“Things have started to seem slightly erratic, with plans being made before they are cancelled last minute.

“Liam had been doing really well on his second album but now it’s completely on pause. Liam is telling people now he has no idea if it’ll ever be released.”

The latest blow to his album comes just weeks after music insiders told us a planned documentary about Liam’s struggle with growing up in the spotlight had been shelved.

The film was going to chart Liam’s well-documented tussle with the trappings and fame and fortune.
