Reviews for Ashlee Simpson's Bittersweet World began to surface at just a few days from its release in the U.S. Rolling Stone, who have been pretty harsh with her albums in the past gave Bittersweet World a pretty good review: three out of five stars, saying that Simpson had "skillfully shifted her crunchy, guitar-driven pop to Eighties-influenced electro-rock with the help of Timbaland and the Neptunes' Chad Hugo." The magazine previously gave her debut album Autobiography two out of five stars and her sophomore effort, I Am Me, a dissapointing one star and a half out of five.
People magazine gave the album a very positive review, with three and a half out of four stars; it described Bittersweet World as "shockingly good" and as "sweet revenge on all of Simpson's critics", and it noted the album's "dance-pop direction". Not to forget mentioning that Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B grade.
All Music Guide gave the album four out of five stars.
Looks like Ashlee pulled off making a great album this time around and I can't wait to go buy a copy when it hits stores next Tuesday - April 22nd!
