Jan 18, 2017Lily Allen is a lyrical genius and this album shows that beautifully. Every song on this album is iconic and relatable. 'The Fear' is one of the most iconic songs ever released. QUEEN

Aug 25, 2015One of the strongest releases of the 21st century. Definitely the best album of Lily's career so far. She has sharp wit, fresh electropop sound and clever lyrics. It's a classic and is a definite pop staple. Everyone deserves to be enlightened by this flawless album at least once in their life.

Dec 26, 2015It's Not Me, It's You é, para mim, um dos melhores álbuns pop que já existiram. Sério, as letras, a instrumental, a voz doce da Lily, tudo é perfeito nesse álbum.

ClifCMar 17, 2009A bit disappointed by this album. I was waiting for more. Still funny and catchy though. Standout tracks: "The Fear" & "Fuck You".

LayneMay 14, 2009Lily Allen is a talentless waste of space, and proves it beyond all doubt with this horrendous effort.

BradleySFeb 11, 2009So disappointing! Now, she's no better than the clones she inspired. What the hell happened?!

AnonymousMay 19, 2009Not quite as good as Alright, Still, but it's something rare nowdays: electropop with funny, well-written, @$$-kicking social commentary. Her voice still sounds amazing and the tracks are so catchy that you'll remember them for weeks after hearing them once. Best tracks are: The Fear, F**k You, Everyone's At It, Chinese, and He Wasn't There.

DelspencerdeltorroMar 1, 2009It's a different direction than her frst album took, but it's still definitely Lily! It doesn't have quite as many standouts as Alright, Still, and it's got a few more boring spots, but overall it's great. MY favourite tracks are "Chinese" and "Fuck You"

MeisterJun 30, 2009Pedestrian production? Check. An in-joke that is neither funny nor clever? Check. Cringeworthy lyrics? Check. Well, guys, call it the most potently self-deprecating and self-aggrandizing pop statement ever made. Oh, and the vacuous personality? Exactly the appeal. It must be part of the irony.

JessieW.Feb 11, 2009I don't know how anybody could give this album less than perfect, because it is sweetly crafted, perfect pop music in it's finest form. I've had the luxury of receiving this album a week early and have already worn the album out from overuse. Extremely catchy, and an obvious display of Lily Allen's talent and songcraft.

RyanEFeb 12, 2009It's alright, good pop album. Was after something kinda different and i like it. Good beats and clever lyrics, better than alright still in my opinion.

Nov 1, 2012Ms. Allen (or as she would rather be called nowadays, Ms. Rose-Cooper) made a serious transition from her sassy debut "Alright, Still" to "It's Not Me, It's You" - while some of that old bratty attitude is still there, she's 100% more mature than ever.
-
Mar 27, 2011"It's Not Me, It's You" is a new step of Lily Allen from ska-pop to electro-pop. The album retains its catchy nursery rhymes sound but it does not fit well on the techno sound. The production is perfect, it sounds really good. It still retains non-mainstream pop sounds but it sounds boring rather than fun. Overall, the album is good and buy-worthy. :)
-
Jul 26, 2011Damn good album. To quote one of the songs **** you" to the haters. Several catchy pop songs, and several social/political commentary songs that are actually fun and enjoyable rather than being preachy. Not amazing, but well worth having in your library.
-
Sep 13, 2011Though I think the music is a much more interesting in Lily's first album, this one has some catchy melodies that will be in your head all day long, such as "22", "The Fear" and"Who'd Have Known". It shows a more sensitive Lily, but there are still some songs in which the ironic Lily comes out.
-
Dec 29, 2014The Lily Allen sound is ever present on 'It's Not Me, It's You.' But with it comes more mature songwriting and an album worth spending some time with. It occasionally falters, but makes up for it with 'The Fear' and '22.'

Jan 26, 2013This is a big change for Lily Allen, and whilst she doesn't have the bittersweet raggae vibe anymore, the new flow is awesome and all tracks are worth a listen and this album is worth buying.
-
May 7, 2013I love every single song. It captures the essence of a whole generation. Love, friendship, drugs, parties, heartbreak, all mixed in a blend that comes out perfect. Lily shines in every track, and Greg Kurtin did his best job to date producing this album (in my humble opinion).
Awards & Rankings

Even if the new album can be cheaply on-the-nose and opportunistic at times, it's hard to root against Lily Allen.
-
It's Not Me, It's You is far from perfect, but it sounds fantastic.
-
She offsets an assault of cheekiness with confessions so intimate, they could have been drafted during an A.A. meeting.
