Overall, ADD demonstrates why Lewis blazed his way into AI's final round: He's out there, sure, but he's willing to reel it in enough to keep it real for the masses.

Billboard

"American Idol" season six runner-up Blake Lewis' debut, "ADD: Audio Day Dream," is indeed a little all over the map, but, surprisingly, it works.

Los Angeles Times

His singing on "Audio Day Dream" is fine; it gets the job done. Yet what arrests your ear are Lewis' ideas.

The New York Times

A little something for everyone, in other words, though it probably won’t hold anyone’s focus all the way through.

All Music Guide

ADD is certainly one of the more interesting AmIdol-related records, but so much commotion without construction is ultimately as forgettable as Jordin's pageant-winner trifle, and perhaps a little more tiring to get through, too.

Boston Globe

On his debut, Lewis is engaging and diverse, but he also fails to excite or provoke.

Entertainment Weekly

If Lewis could just find a way to integrate all his early-MTV influences (A Flock of Fat Boys?), well...that album wouldn't be great either--though it'd be less forgettable than this exercise in pop adequacy.

Almost a year after it's release, I'm still enjoying ADD and it never fails to lift my spirits. News about Blake has been kind of skimpy lately, but I hope he's been working away. He's got a great voice he knows how to use, a great ear for sound, is creative, and loves music. Can't wait to hear more from him.

Charlie F. gave it a10:
I love it.. I'm the older crowd that loved Blake's charm and refreshingly pleasant voice. Call me "Granny Beat Boxer Rocker" but I love Blake!

Ashley S. gave it a9:
I haven't bought a cd in about 5 years, and this one was way worth it. I enjoy listening to it in my car. It has great beat!

Chris F. gave it an8:

Devyn K. gave it a10:
The best album I have ever listened to I bought the album for my whole family and friends and they all love it, my favorite artist and album, every song is entertaining and very easy to relate to.

If you are a Blaker girl and voted for Blake on AI, then you will appreciate this very solid pop album with catchy tracks, and pretty good production value. Blake even gets to beatbox on "Bshorty grabs the mic",and does his ghostly falsetto with reverb intervals in between the 16 songs. Must hears are the first single "Break Anotha" (better on studio version vs the one I saw on Leno), Prince-inspired "Watcha got to lose?" and the BT-produced "She's making me lose it". You can hear Blake's admitted influences Maroon 5, JT and 80s bands like Prince, Duran Duran. I think this is the album he wanted to make, and hopefully in the future he can hone and refine his musical style and talent for more sure-footed and less derivative music. Worth the USD10!
