  1. Los Angeles Times

    All I Ever Wanted is a masterful rapprochement with the mainstream, full of cheerfully ear-snagging tunes, inventive production, exhilarating vocals and enough inherent Kelly-ness to put aside fears that her label bosses implanted blond electrodes in her brain to make her behave.
  2. Entertainment Weekly
    83
    She just tries it all, co-writing six of All I Ever Wanted's 14 tracks-- and stumbles only rarely
  3. Rolling Stone
    60
    Clarkson's sense of grievance, inflated to gargantuan size by her huge voice, can be wearying over 14 songs, particularly when the music sags.

    This is the best album of the year by miles. Every song is great. Its hard to pick a favorite song but Already Gone is perfect.

    Pretentious and fake. Some good moments though.
