Critical reception
[edit]Allmusic's Sharon Mawer remarked that the album's commercial prospects suffered as the label appeared to favor "their reality TV produced singers than with a genuine rock singer/songwriter, especially one who sounded so much like many other major stars."[1] In a negative review, Dave Simpson of The Guardian wrote that the album consisted of "lowest-common-denominator songs could have been put together in a laboratory."[2] Nick Mitchell of The Skinny said that when listening to the songs on the album as a whole, "they all become one and the same: sickly, insipid twaddle that couldn't be fixed by all the session guitarists in the world."[3]
