trishbJul 21, 2003More mature lyrics, catchy pop hooks. The songs I like the best are ones that sound a bit more original (Are you happy now, Desperately, Till I get over you). Like Spirit Room though, on many tracks her voice and gutair are drowned out by the background production. Nice sophmore effort overall, hopefully she will continue to improve.

BradSJun 26, 2003This CD is truly amazing, a lot of feel good tracks. She shows a lot of growth from Spirit Room, Michelle at her best.

RozetteW.Sep 15, 2003I absolutely love Michelle Branch! Hotel Paper is her best album yet! I love all the songs and how they express her emotions and feelings, like Are You Happy Now? is one of the angriest songs i've ever heard, and Til I Get Over You is the saddest song i've heard on her album. Yet, I still love her album. Keep rockin, Michelle!!!

Nov 20, 2021Loved this alternative, country and rock feel. Amazing voice and solo artist. “Are you happy now” is my favourite.

Entertainment WeeklyThe inescapable girlishness in her voice heightens the unlived-in quality of hackneyed, loverlorn ballads like "Desperately," the least desperate-sounding song of 2003. [Jun 27/Jul 4 2003, p.136]
-
Most of the songs just lumber along at the same plodding, deliberate pace, boasting very few of the fun hooks that made her previous album so annoyingly likeable.

In the course of the album, it's hard not to notice that all the songs sound the same, and for that matter, they all sound the same as that Avril Lavigne song about the damn cold night, even if Michelle technically got there before Avril.
