    Don't be so harsh on poor Ashlee Simpson! She's trying folks, you gotta give her that.

    I think she is quite OK, with certain tracks such as "Pieces of Me" and "Love Me For Me" being rather good, although she obviously can't sing others such as "Lala", and no offense, but it sounds like a dying cat, especially when she sings it live. Overall it's a decent album, but nothing too spectacular.

    Hmm pretty cool for Jessica's little sister. Most of the songs are not believable here. That's the problem. No, she doesn't write her own songs or music. She is just another typical pop singer. Too bad.

    There isn't a song on her debut that doesn't paint in huge strokes. [Sep 2004, p.143]

    She sounds like she’s adopting characters and singing their songs, rather than her own. And, for a record with the name Autobiography, it seems like no bigger criticism could be leveled.
