  1. The funniest thing since Ravyn-Symone's Here's to New Dreams.
  2. It all amounts to the kind of mediocre girl pop-rock about dreams and stuff that one writes when they want to be Vanessa Carlton or Michelle Branch but don't really know how.

    Hewitt's problem on BareNaked, ironically, is that she lacks "it." Whatever magnetism she carries on screen, whatever eye-candy poise she possesses; it all comes off as vanilla in her music.

    Admittedly, her FM-friendly singalongs aren't rocket science, just fantastically effective. [May 2003, p.109]

    There's little to indicate an intrinsic personality unusual enough to demand your attention. [#10, p.118]

    Amounts to nothing more than a party of five million bland cliches. [11 Oct 2002, p.82]
