Peter Robinson of "The Observer" commended her collaborators for "masking her own shortcomings" and commented that, "While Rihanna lacks her peers' charisma, she's a great vessel for exhilarating mainstream pop." Pitchfork Media's Tom Breihan found the album varied and satisfying. Neil Drumming of "Entertainment Weekly" felt that, although it "goes bad when Rihanna tries her hand at treacly ballads and glum sentiment", at times "Good Girl Gone Bad" is a "thrilling throwback to more than a decade ago, when

Robert Christgau of MSN Music cited "Umbrella" as a "choice cut", indicating "a good song on an album that isn't worth your time or money". At the 2008 Grammy Awards ceremony, "Good Girl Gone Bad" received seven Grammy Awards nominations, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Umbrella", Best Dance Recording for "Don't Stop the Music", Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best R&B Song for "Hate That I Love You".
