Adele has released her latest track “Easy On Me” and here’s what the critics had to say. The Independent’s Alexandra Pollard applauds the “crisp, plaintive and mature comeback.”

Variety’s Chris Willman writes that the new track sees Adele “taking responsibility” for her part in the “downfall of a relationship.”

The Times gave “Easy On Me” a four-star review calling it a “great tune” but that it “won’t change the world.”

Adele told British Vogue the song was written for her son Angelo so he could understand the reason for her divorce from his father, Simon Konecki.
