    The album is full of poorly written mediocre, but catchy tunes. Jennifer is not the best singer but shes alright.

    Esse álbum não me surpreendeu não. Eu pensava que ia ser um pouco melhor. Mas mesmo assim, Jennifer é linda! Gostei do novo CD dela Love? bem mais legal que esse.

    The album stumbles and blunders between almost-balladic tracks to heavy hitting 70s inspired dance tracks that lack innovation and even originality at times. With 2007's Brave, JLO needed to return to the music that made her JLO - dance music. So, with Brave, she went back to formulaic dance-pop that is so predictable that it's possibly an body of work used in songwriting lessons forThe album stumbles and blunders between almost-balladic tracks to heavy hitting 70s inspired dance tracks that lack innovation and even originality at times.

    It's nothing more than modest music for mellow good times, but it's lively enough to be fleeting fun, with enough good tunes for a mild party, preferably one that's held at home.

    The album is another market-smart collection of radio fodder, rather than Lopez's artistic breakout. That said, no one does classy pop quite like she does.

    Expensive beats and uplifting material are offset by listless vocals.
