    The muscular, instantly recognizable growl that carried her to a fourth-place finish on American Idol's eighth season is all she needs to seamlessly wed a collection of first-rate ditties.

    Just Like You is a workmanlike pop album with shrewdly punky touches, like a ready-made outfit from the mall chain Hot Topic. It flatters Ms. Iraheta as a singer but too often suggests other empowered female stars, like Pink or Brandi Carlile or Kelly Clarkson.
  3. All Music Guide

    Allison may strongly resemble her idols here, but chalk that up to youth and it doesn't prevent her from conveying considerable charisma.

    I can't believe the reviewers are giving her less than perfect reviews. Because her album really is perfect! I love it! The best idol debut ever!… Expand
