Velvet received highly 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",[7] 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".[8] 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".[5] 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".[9]
