No—the cited Pitchfork review page does not confirm a 3.7 rating. It currently displays a score of 0.0, which conflicts with the assignment’s 3.7 claim; the page does not explain the discrepancy. The review itself is Jeremy D. Larson’s June 24, 2025 assessment of Benson Boone’s American Heart.
What Pitchfork’s page shows
Pitchfork lists American Heart as a 2025 Pop/R&B release on Night Street / Warner and credits the review to Jeremy D. Larson. The review is dated June 24, 2025. On the page currently available, the displayed score is 0.0—not 3.7. The page offers no explanation for the difference, so 3.7 should not be reported as a confirmed Pitchfork rating.

What the review argues
Larson’s central criticism is that Boone’s performance flair does not make up for songwriting he finds weak or for the absence of a distinctive point of view. The review considers the gap between Boone’s conspicuous showmanship—including backflips and online-era spectacle—and the musical identity presented on the album.
In discussing songs such as “Mr Electric Blue,” “Mystical Magical,” “Man in Me,” and “I Wanna Be the One You Call,” Larson places the album’s sound in conversation with retro pop-rock and argues that its writing does not support the scale of its presentation. These are the reviewer’s critical judgments, not objective measurements.

How the review frames Boone’s success
Pitchfork calls “Beautiful Things” a “two-billion streaming hit.” That is the review’s description; the page does not identify a streaming-data source or measurement date, so it should not be treated as a separately verified current total.
