"Grande's "Charlie's Angel" isn't a classic soundtrack, or classic Ariana, but an assemblage that falls more in line with the film's merely millennial take on themes of crime and passion and empowerment than anything else.

"The most vexing aspect of this Charlie's Angels soundtrack is that the levity and camp at the heart of the series never comes into focus. The truth is that Grande is a perfect choice for the film and its audience: a bona fide pop idol, wunderkind, and businesswoman with a sharp sense of humor and a cohort of multitalented women in her inner circle-all elements that could have led to an artfully playful soundtrack that breathed new life into an iconic, female-fronted, big-budget action machine. But with an outcome this ordinary, it just sounds like Grande is cashing in"
