    pure **** unoriginal, one of the worst pop albums of the year! she's 26 trying to look like 16 years old, pathetic! the successful of Call Me Maybe is misunderstood, 0/10

    This is one of the laziest albums ever made. Im still in shock of her success from call me maybe, The only song that doesn't make you hate her (even more than most already do) Is tonight im getting over you. The rest of the songs are just pure pop trash

    The album's theme is so sweet, it makes me puke. I'm surprised because I've never imagined that such an album would come out of a 26 year old female singer. The album is uninspiring, meaningless and reductive.

    A true bore of an album it is a real snooze fest of an album the songs are all pure cheese and not the fun type one I would never listen to again even if you paid me. A Miss.

    Flop. A one hit wonder. She needs to focus in quality and versatility making albums. Not like this bubble pop songs that played in funny or corny movies or something.

    The whole album is crafted with formulaic pop melodies and old tricks. So very, very boring and uninspired. I don't even know what to say, it's just bad.

    Perhaps the global impact of the massive Call Me Maybe is what makes the album as a whole feel like a damp squib, but with or without US Marine parody videos, the rest of the album fizzles out into synth-pop oblivion.

    On Kiss, her U.S. debut, Jepsen makes a mad dash for good-enoughness.

    On this album, her voice is still her Achilles heel; she's a 26-year-old who sounds 16, and a colourless 16 at that.
