The album , titled '' Caution '' , was released on November 16 , 2018 , and received universal acclaim from critics . '' Caution '' was described as a " fine-tuning " of Carey 's previous work and was praised for its freshness which made it " pleasingly defiant .

Reviewing the singer 's three-day residency at the Royal Albert Hall , Michael Cragg from '' The Guardian '' described Carey 's " incredible , playful performances " as a testament to her status as a " gold-plated pop diva " . Similarly , Kate Solomon from '' The Daily Telegraph '' acclaimed the shows as being a " a surreal but wildly enjoyable showcase of a brighter , more fun side of the pop icon "
