    It's enough of a reinvention to suggest that Britney will know what to do when the teen-pop phenomenon of 1999-2001 passes for good.
  2. A nicely varied, wholly satisfying collection.
  3. Britney and 'Britney' still works best when making a good pop cheese and dance sandwich.
  4. Britney is by far her most personable album, the most consistently playful and the least wince-inducing.

    It's hard to listen to the rest of Britney without imagining what the album would have sounded like had [the Neptunes] produced the whole thing. [#4, p.121]

    Amazingly enough, she does sound almost human. [Jan 2002, p.108]

    The new album from Britney Spears, "Britney", is a widely varying and ultimately pleasing experience from start to finish. She is displaying The new album from Britney Spears, "Britney", is a widely varying and ultimately pleasing experience from start to finish. She is displaying a new maturation and talent that is more evident now than ever. And I think people like Anna H. here should be ashamed of themselves for making such ridiculous and hurtful comments that really should not have been posted in the first place. Get a life and get a heart. "Britney" is a great album. Expand

    A real good one by the Princess of Pop - one of her best. But it's by no means an "Oops!" or a "Blackout." It is however better than "In A real good one by the Princess of Pop - one of her best. But it's by no means an "Oops!" or a "Blackout." It is however better than "In The Zone" and "Circus." The singles weren't chosen right, where "Overprotected" and the lame remix of "Boys" were obviously bad choices. It has much better tunes, like "Let Me Be," "That's Where You Take Me" and "Cinderella," all which would have made a few great bubblegum dance-pop singles. Expand

    Not Britney's best album for sure. A great pop record but not what we expected listening to the lead single "I'm a Slave 4 U". The recordNot Britney's best album for sure. A great pop record but not what we expected listening to the lead single "I'm a Slave 4 U". The record presents really good tracks like I'm a Slave 4 U, Overprotected, I Love Rock n Roll and I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman but songs like Let Me Be and What It's Like To Be Me are most used as fillers. She was changing with this album but the complete musical changed happened with "In The Zone" Expand

    She looks like a bigger slut then ever, she needs to write her own music and learn to be original.
