The Guardian has published a review of *Yearnalism*, the third album by US soul singer Baby Rose (Jasmine Rose Wilson), released on Secretly Canadian. The reviewer praises the record as a "gloriously cinematic" work in which Rose deploys her "fraying contralto" to convey the highs and lows of relationships as though on the verge of emotional collapse. The album is presented as a showcase of stylistic range, spanning vintage R&B, melodic soft-rock and balladry, and earns a broadly positive verdict for its emotional intensity.

Across its 12 songs, the review highlights several tracks: The Reason and But, Nvm capture emotional turmoil, while Better is likened to the breezy lightness of Olivia Dean's recent work, and Sunday builds from a Nina Simone-esque ballad into an epic with strings and guitar. Rose's cinematic instincts are tied to her contribution to, and brief appearance in, the 2025 romantic comedy-drama Materialists. The critic singles out her voice as the album's star — outshining guest Leon Thomas on Friends Again and half-rapping with grit on When I'm Gone — concluding that, even where tracks such as All My Love feel merely pleasant, Rose's willingness to feel everything triumphs over emotional numbness.
