    I love this album, honestly it's the best album have listened not only from pop rock, but in music in general. I can't say that I don't like any song to this album, all songs have a wonderful lyrics, Avril have a beatiful voice and all songs have a greatest rhytm, its production it's not the best, but to be her first album it's incredible. A letter love to music, 20/10 and God

  1. The Canadian rocker looks like a (prettier) member of Sum 41, sounds like a slightly less-pissed Alanis Morissette and has the streetwise 'tude of Pink.

    Lavigne displays a musical guile way beyond her years. [Sep 2002, p.109]

    Lavigne splices the angst of Alanis Morissette and the snarl of Courtney Love into a debut full of sunny guitar pop. [#8, p.115]
