  1. Song for song, Rebirth has more energy and better hooks than her other albums.
  2. Focused, slick and likable as “Rebirth” undeniably is in places, the fact that the Limited Edition comes with a sample of Ms Lopez’s new “Miami Glow” fragrance, confirms, that it’s still just another shameless exercise in brand extension.

    By no means a rebirth, but feistier and more fun than last year's Destiny's Child record, for sure. [May 2005, p.95]

    Oddly, the production in most songs allows lots of open sonic space that reinforces the wispiness of her voice, which rarely ventures out of a mid-range comfort zone. Beyoncé she ain't, much less Alicia. [27 Feb 2005]
  5. It says a lot about an album when the best song, "Get Right," is actually a leftover from Usher's Confessions.
  6. It may be a slight shift in style, it may be totally harmless, and it may contain the occasional surprise, but Rebirth is anything but the renaissance that its title promises.
  7. Though Lopez often comes off as little more than a featherweight studio concoction, Rebirth contains a few moments with the sugary snap of fresh Bubble Yum.
  8. How did such a glam movie star turn into such a rinky-dink pop singer?
  9. The album's drawback lies not with the producers or the material, but with Lopez herself.

    Not her best album but considering some of the stuff that was getting churned out around 2004/2005 its not bad. There should have been someNot her best album but considering some of the stuff that was getting churned out around 2004/2005 its not bad. There should have been some more Dance/Pop stuff like Waiting For Tonight but it's still worth a listen overall 6.7/10 just shy of a 7 for me. Full Review »
