    [Simple Plan] serves up ear candy like "Welcome to My Life," which has a gooey-angst-ridden center but is as bouncy as it is sincere. [29 Oct 2004, p.68]

    Some excessive ballads aside, Simple Plan's second disc all but perfects the one before it. [Dec 2004, p.141]

    This isn't just a step in the right direction for the band, it's--believe it or not--a good move for the pop-punk genre as a whole.

    The shift to a more dynamically rich sound suits Simple Plan just fine.

    Individually, the songs are catchy, but as they pile up over the length of the album, it's impossible not to wonder whether the singer's endless complaints didn't drive everyone away. [8 Nov 2004]

    Despite the overwrought angst, Still Not Getting Any... is a hard-to-deny collection of bubblegum punk

    Every song has hooks so polished you can see your reflection in them. [Dec 2004, p.142]

    While it's hard to feel moved, it's impossible not to admire the craftsmanship. [Mar 2005, p.101]

    [Simple Plan is] a band as spiritually distant from Dookie as John Mayaer is from Blind Willie McTell. [Dec 2004, p.124]

    Boring, even worse than their debut. Decent instrumental work, but combined with whiny lyrics, not much depth or creativity, like what is theBoring, even worse than their debut. Decent instrumental work, but combined with whiny lyrics, not much depth or creativity, like what is the point of this record? This is probably the perfect album for teen girls to be like "Yeah, you are so right!! Oh god i love you all so much, Simple Plan!! Mom, shut the f*ck up, you can't change me and push me around!!". If your teen child is listening to this album, you as the parents can be aware of what will happen over the next few months until it grows out of the phase.
