MattC.Nov 18, 2009Carrie is making the mistake of going pop to try to crossover without remixing her songs, so in the end she loses what little country sound she had. Also her songs are pretty much do-overs of her last album, with the lyrics just switched around.

Awards & Rankings

Carrie takes a much stronger presence as a writer here, co-authoring seven of the 13 songs, and she's attracted to hookless showstoppers designed to showcase her powerful voice, all glory notes with no glory. When she sticks to tunes written solely by the professionals, Play On does have some slick pleasures.
-
As always, her vocal ability is beyond reproach; a crack in the immaculately polished veneer, however, would be welcome too.
-
Play On exhibits a distressing lack of dimension for a singer with Underwood's obvious abilities.
