record review

Music critic's piece

A record review is a critical evaluation of a music album, assessing its artistic merit, production quality, and cultural significance.

The term persists from when albums were primarily vinyl records, though it now covers any format: I read a record review before deciding to buy the album.

In professional contexts, record review may also refer to examining documentation or medical charts.
