    Lavigne displays a musical guile way beyond her years. [Sep 2002, p.109]
  2. The problem is Lavigne is still so young she's listening to the radio hits of the '90s and early 2000s: she's Pink when she's bucking authority, Alanis Morissette when she's angry, and Jewel when she's sensitive.
  3. Truth be told, Lavigne has a great voice, a good shtick and a qualified staff of hitmakers.
  4. Most of it is pretty middle-of-the-road female singer-songwriter tripe.

Some tracks are clever and funny like “Sk8er Boi” and “My World”. And we have this “I'm with You” which remains the best ballad she've done in her career. A perfect record to listen end to end because this album is timeless. Full Review »
