RayleenTSep 20, 2004An awesome album. Ashlee has a lovely voice and her songs are so endearing and funky at the same time. If i could turn back time, i would still buy her album. A great buy!!! I love Ashlee Simpson.

JenHJul 28, 2004I love the CD. I love to listen to the radio for variety, but I haven't taken her CD out of my stereo since I bought it! I find songs to listen to when I'm down, when I have the top down on my car and I'm in a good mood... I haven't found a CD that I can listen to straight through in a long time. I enjoy the slight glimpse into her life and her feelings.

JamieRAug 11, 2004I think Ashlee is awesome! I like that shes not pop like her sister. I also think its cool that she doesn't dress and act like some of the other singers. I love Ashlee's music and I can't wait till she comes out with a new one.
-
-
KatieFAug 12, 2004It's a great cd!! I like the rock pop better than Jessica's Lalalala pop. If you know what I mean. They both have awesome voices!! Props to Jessica for singing great, and definatly Ashlee for giving us all an awesome first album!

-
HeatherM.Sep 13, 2004I love this album!!! I think that all of the songs on Autobiography are so awesome, and I can listen to her cd over and over again for hours! My favorite songs are Pieces Of Me and Undiscovered. I love them because I can relate a lot to what she is singing about. I love you Ashlee!

ChristianVNov 19, 2005Come 'on, this cd is the best ever, i mean, shes great, and she has a lot of talent, and more that Avril Lavigne and Pink togheter, i mean,. c'mon man, the album isnt that bad, she yeelss in some of her songs, but there is no other way to say the words, i mean, the lyrics are great!!, catchy and bubble gumy, ok, but it isnt mediocre, thats my thought.

AlannaJan 27, 2005If this is her first try at a album, I can't wait for the next. She co-wrote every song, which is very believeble, since they are indeed raw and realistic. I love this album to death because no matter what mood I'm in, I can drowned the world out with one push of a button.

AndieV.Jul 2, 2007Puh-leeze, people give her a break. i think she has some real talent, she knows how to rock and her songs are quite catchy, autobiography kicks some ass, she may not seem who she may seem to be.

JessicaGJul 26, 2004I really like this album! If you love to sing at the top of your lungs while driving this cd is a must! If you are an Avril fan you will most likely be an Ashlee fan

GenRAug 13, 2004I am a kids' gymnastics instructor and we usually play a variety of CD's during class (like kids bop), but ever since i popped my Ashlee CD in that's all the kids have wanted to listen to during class! Which definitely keeps me happy because i love it!

EmmanuelDec 14, 2004This isnt the greatest album in the world but compared to other actress turned singers this is pretty decent. i kinda admire Ashlee cuz she co-wrote her songs and was actually involved with her album
-
-
KeriGAug 18, 2004I like it better than I thought I would. No, it's not very inspirational or life-changing, and yes, she did use her sister's fame to propel herself, but it's light, fun, and catchy, and sometimes I need that...

Jul 16, 2016"Autobiography" was an edgy debut from Ashlee Simpson. It had its high moments with "Pieces of Me," "Shadow," "Better Off," "Love Me For Me," and "Giving It All Away," and though it did have a few weak songs, the album was, overall, spectacular.
Awards & Rankings
-
Chock-full of catchy songs.
-
BlenderThere isn't a song on her debut that doesn't paint in huge strokes. [Sep 2004, p.143]
-
She sounds like shes 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.
