    As long as you forget that you're listening to the star of Camp rock 2: The Final Jam, it actually sounds pretty cool. [14/21 Nov 2014, p.105]

    For Jonas, the new sound works well: He's sweetly confident while singing about all the adult lust that he has been suppressing in his music for years.

    His most mature and riskiest work to date.
