KerriO.Nov 19, 2008Amazing album. I really didn't care for David's music too much on idol, but since he put out Crush and then I bought the album I absolutely have fallen in love with this guy. Crush is amazing and the album is fantastic. If you haven't bought it you need to. I love it! There are so many hits on there. He has a beautiful voice.

SusanM.Nov 19, 2008Every single song is worth listening to over and over again. The album has variety--pop, r&b, jazz, ballads. But most importantly, David Archuleta can sing with passion and has a voice of a soulful, melodic storyteller. Great freshman album!

CarrieT.Nov 20, 2008I haven't heard a CD that I've wanted to listen to over and over and over again in years!! David's voice and emotions come through on every song which are all crazy catchy and addictive (I'll admit I cried when I first heard To Be With You). What an amazing first effort. David is AWESOME! (and adorably hot!).

TonyPJan 16, 2009Just unforgettable, David Archuleta is one very special singer/person, and this album demonstrates it, he is actually the first celebrity now (as of Jan 15 in Live Search xRank) does it say something? Big success ! He is the kind of kid every person wants to have around.

DavidMFeb 13, 2009The voice of a generation. Who can compare? However, I would agree that the song-writing leaves something to be desired. "Crush" is excellent; "Barriers" is cheesy yet vocally magisterial. But, hey, the boy's so very young, so he'll definitely have additional opportunites to showcase that incredible instrument of his. Kudos on a solid debut effort.

ChristopherFFeb 22, 2009David Archuleta has an amazing voice. His first album is full of very fun and catchy songs. His songwriters need to step up the quality of lyrics from what the average song has to offer here, but I cannot complain about the melodies or David's amazing performances. I am very excited to see what he will come up with next, and would definitely look into watching him live.

donnaSep 11, 2009Great songs, great voice. Looking forward to the Christmas Album and others after that. David is a natural talent with the best voice in our generation.

AndreaC.Nov 11, 2008The album is awesome... the best songs are the ones that come as a bonus track in Walmart (Works for Me) or in the Deluxe Version like Someone Out There and Falling.

Awards & Rankings
-
So, it delivers exactly what Archuleta promised on the show: something sweet and safe, utterly old-fashioned and forgettable.
-
A silky tenor with a natural melancholy that makes him a heartbreaker by default. His charming debut exploits that very quality with some strokes of pop genius.
-
Happily, in a genre where the urge is to err on the side of overwrought, someone smart decided to stick with tasteful, understated production. Archuleta's delivery is likewise low-key and attractive, if predictably generic.
