The sonic palette of "Cowboy Carter" is more diverse than its title may suggest.
"Unwieldy as it is, it displays its author's ability to bend musical styles to her will, be they country, hip-hop or the baroque post-psychedelic easy listening that seems to lurk beneath the vocal gymnastics of My Rose.
If the results don't quite hold together, 'Cowboy Carter' still proves Beyoncé is impressively capable of doing whatever she wants."
— Helen Brown, The Independent"'Cowboy Carter,' however, is more than a genre-trapping production.
It's a deep stylistic smorgasbord that gets scattershot in the final third of the album's 27 tracks (several of them interludes) with trap beats and fiddles vying for the front row."
