    Establishes her as the progenitor of what could be called electro-ethno-pop.
  2. E! Online

    Even more of a musical jumble than her first album.
  3. Rolling Stone
    70
    Lyrically feisty and stylistically expanded.

  5. AllMusic

    Wikked Lil' Grrrls occasionally gets lost between songwriting, thematics, and stylistic flow.
  6. Prefix Magazine
    50
    She seems to be lost among her new surroundings, pulling in old styles and dated arrangements to seemingly express her dissatisfaction and confusion with where music is going.
  7. Splendid

    A towering monument to Esthero's overpowering sense of self satisfaction, this mess overstays its welcome and abuses whatever attention you're willing to spend on it. In short, it's not a career highlight.

    Amazing CD. I have been waiting for her second CD for a long time. It is definitely "mixed" in genres, but, that is part of the beauty of it all.

    Esthero is everything that the mainstream pop artists should aspire to be. She was making the black Eyed Peas better long before anyone knew Esthero is everything that the mainstream pop artists should aspire to be. She was making the black Eyed Peas better long before anyone knew who Fergie was, and can easily sing circles around most of her contemporaries. However, Esthero does it HER way, which means she'll be obscure in her career, but will still be able to live with herself.… Collapse

    I've been looking for a new sound to embrace, and I've found it in Esthero! She's definatly merged several music styles into I've been looking for a new sound to embrace, and I've found it in Esthero! She's definatly merged several music styles into something provocative.… Expand

    Can't say much for this album. Gwen Stefani wannabe songs, interspersed with self indulgent answering machine messages. Pass.
