    This album is amazing when you consider the time constraints under which it was made. Even the critics who did not give the album a good review cound not deny that David Archuleta has an amazing voice.

Some of the best tracts, by the way, are on the iTunes preorder deluxe version. Also, the Walmart CD has a bonus tract "Works for Me" that just may be the best song amongst the entire group, and which was co-written by David and Daniel Bedingfield. Perhaps if these critics had been able to include the bonus tracts in their reviews, they may have given the album a higher rating. Expand

    Amazing 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.

    The 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.

    David 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.

    Although some critics have been unnecessarily harsh, it's totally great to listen to and is pure pop. David will do well; debut CDs are just that - experiments. I like your experiment David!

    This is a fantastic cd. If I had to pick a song to skip, I would not be able to find one. Powerful emotion, perfect delivery, what a talent.

    David has great vocals and emotes well on this album. Some of the songs could be great single hits. His is destined to be one of the best pop artists in the last decade.

    This is a terrific freshman CD. It proves that he can sing ANYTHING! I honestly had to ask myself several times, "how can he do that with his voice?" He's amazing.

    Excellent cd! David's vocals are superb throughout, and the songs are very catchy. Couldn't have asked for anything more and can't wait for his solo tour!

    This album is a genuine pop. Critics say that too processed songs do not show his vocal talent. But as a new artist, he mixed contemporary trend and straightford simple music that shows his vocal ability. Especially bonus songs are excellent qualities.

    I loved David on Idol and could not wait for his first CD. I have played it non-stop since it came out on Tuesday. The blend of different styles of music shows that David can sing anything.

    I love David's voice and this album exceeds even my high expectations for it. There is something for everyone on it, and for the first time ever on an album, there isn't ONE SONG that I don't love. The bonus tracks are all phenomenal, too, and may be even more reflective of where David will go musically in the future. He is only 17 and still experimenting.

I really don't understand how anyone can call this album bland. The vocals are extremely complicated, and David's unique sound comes through on every song, whether it be the more edgy Desperate or Let Me Go, or the beautiful ballads like To Be With You, You Can and Barriers. I love it! Expand

    While I had hoped for more depth from Archie, i find myself completely sated with this release and i am convinced that a deeper Archie now would have been too soon in his career and therefore this is perfect.

    This album is absolutely amazing! David Archuleta has such strong, smooth vocals on this album! He is an unbelievable singer and his songs are so much fun. He really connects emotionally to all his songs and you can really feel that. Awesome!!

Mixed or average reviews - based on 7 Critic Reviews

Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 7
  2. Negative: 1 out of 7
  1. So, it delivers exactly what Archuleta promised on the show: something sweet and safe, utterly old-fashioned and forgettable.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
