Mirror is the debut studio album by British-born Canadian singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer-Smith . The album was released on 14 July 2023 through Republic Records .[ 2] The album was inspired by the singer's breakup and described as "a story filled with autobiographical ups and downs".[ 3]
Michael Cragg of The Guardian rated the album 3 out of 5 stars complementing Spencer-Smith's "big voice" and the album's "few frayed edges", but felt that the album "plays the emotional bloodletting a little too safe".[ 6] Writing for Dork , Martin Young noted the "run of ballads and sky scraping anthems including towering highlight ‘That Part’ [as] hugely impressive" but felt the album "could do with a little bit more dynamism to lighten the heavy atmosphere just a touch".[ 7]
