    Bittersweet World is the first time that she has made a record that lives up to her happily empty persona, something that's truly fun junk.
  2. Dot Music

    She's got an album which for all its sing-along moments is neither catchy nor extreme enough to be exceptional.
  3. Los Angeles Times

    She has to, you know, sing. You can tell she's not into it.

    Bittersweet World is definitely an improvement on I Am Me. Songs like Boys, What I've Become, Ragdoll and Murder are catchy as hell!

    LOL, Brendan H., you ought to double check your math. 3/5 IS a 60/100 if mathematically adjusted to reflect an out of 100 ratio. Metacritic has it together, trust me. And a 4/5 would be an 80/100 (etc.) Anyways, the CD is of course pretty unexceptional, but this should come as no shock to anybody.… Expand

    That smaller nose should allow her to go balls deep at least... best way to keep her from trying to sing...
