Critical reception
Velvet received positive reviews from critics, with some calling it Lambert's best work to date. The album has a score of 84 on Metacritic indicating "universal acclaim". Mike Wass of Idolator described Velvet's sound as a "wild ride that incorporates everything from disco to glam rock", while Stephen Daw of Billboard stated that the record was "continuing in the same vein of late '60s funk rock that's fueled his latest releases". Writing for AllMusic, Matt Collar called the album a "new and delightfully retro direction", as well as a "dazzling, glitter-dipped exercise in '70s disco-era funk, rock, and soul". A.D. Amorosi of Variety praised the record, writing "the 38-year-old out singer goes for something less glamorously amorously entertaining and more grimily soulful and sleekly funky than we're used to hearing from him" and "Adam Lambert has made "Velvet" a testament to finding his way, personally and professionally, in what is his most accomplished solo work to date".
