    "Unfortunately, [Sticks + Stones] isn't much of a great debut. It contains songs like "Want U Back" and "With Ur Love" that are really fine bubbly pop radio tunes, but the album together is just a problem waiting to happen."

    A funny pop record. For teenagers.
    It's not the world and not a perfect record but it makes fan to listen to it.
    She has not the best voice,but its very cute.

    Not bad at all, but it gives me earache by listen the ten songs...she just have to give up and go sell pretzels. I usually do not like contestants, open exceptions only for Leona Lewis and Jordin Sparks, and this is another one that I will never want to hear again. Bad album, bad voice, bad initiative, please tell me the pretzel's price?

    Sticks + Stones é um álbum bem mediano. Cher Lloyd consegue ser melhor do que isso. As faixas que são "chicletes" e grudam na cabeça enjoam muito rápido. Swagger Jagger é a pior música do álbum, enquanto a melhor é Beautiful People.

    With her manic lowbrow sass - tiresome at length but lovable on singles like "Want U Back"--she makes these street-laced pop tracks her own

    There are times throughout its ten tracks when Lloyd does appear to be testing the patience of even her most ardent fans.

    the only real flashes of character come from the reworked riffs of Old Neneh Cherry and Ann Peebles hits used on a couple of tracks.
