    Admittedly, her FM-friendly singalongs aren't rocket science, just fantastically effective. [May 2003, p.109]

    There's little to indicate an intrinsic personality unusual enough to demand your attention. [#10, p.118]
  3. The funniest thing since Ravyn-Symone's Here's to New Dreams.

    Amounts to nothing more than a party of five million bland cliches. [11 Oct 2002, p.82]

    Hewitt's problem on BareNaked, ironically, is that she lacks "it." Whatever magnetism she carries on screen, whatever eye-candy poise she possesses; it all comes off as vanilla in her music.
  6. It all amounts to the kind of mediocre girl pop-rock about dreams and stuff that one writes when they want to be Vanessa Carlton or Michelle Branch but don't really know how.
