    Like it or not, the songs penned for Britney by Swedish producer Max Martin, the man behind the even more successful Backstreet Boys, get into your brain like ketamine.
  2. All Music Guide
    80
    It has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made One More Time.
  3. CDNow

    Just because the Britney Spears Empire was not built on actual artistic merit doesn't mean the singer can't craft -- or have crafted for her -- a snappy and utterly enjoyable pop record.
  4. MTV.com

    Oops!... I Did It Again proves beyond a doubt that Britney Spears is The One.
  5. Entertainment Weekly

    There may be no more audacious piece of music this year than Britney Spears' assault on the Rolling Stones' ''(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.''... the remake is at once preposterous and winning.

    Spears' new album does sound exactly like her last one.
  7. Rolling Stone
    70
    Under the cheese surface, Britney's demand for satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock & roll tradition.
  8. Dot Music

    This time it's the cover of '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' that grabs the headlines. The surprisingly credible version limbers into life with Britney chatting away to her pals on the phone.
  9. Billboard
    70
    As she evolves, Spears is wisely sticking with age-appropriate material that her teen constituency can bond with.
  10. Salon.com
    70
    Saturated with choruses too well designed to be written off as anything less than calculatedly brilliant.
  11. Wall of Sound
    65
    Oops! does succeed in making Spears sound sexier and meatier -- and not that innocent -- as its team of top-shelf producers (particularly Max Martin and Rodney Jerkins) supports her adenoidal vocals and breathy hiccups with bottom-heavy arrangements that provide a bit more thrust and pump to the proceedings.
  12. Q Magazine
    40
    47 minutes of homogenous power pop...

    Pretty Good Album! About 4 Songs Stick Out The Rest I Can Trash!

    ...Baby One More Time and Britney have two completely different sounds, and this is the transition album. A few of the tracks hit the line right between dance and 90s pop perfectly, like Oops!...I Did It Again, Stronger and Crush, but others like Don't Come Knocking On My Door are perfectly horrendous. One could do without this album, but it definitely wouldn't bother one's ears.… Full Review »
