Judging by the delivery of those poignant lines, it's hardly a stretch to imagine Bieber racking up more hits in the next decade to come.
Read Full Review >All Music Guide
Members of the Clutch, Midi Mafia, âTrickyâ Stewart, Usher, and a handful of other notable producers and songwriters grant Bieber a set of songs that isn't quite top-level quality, but the singer more than gets by on his squeaky-clean charm and natural ability.

Daughters don't have to be hidden away for the duration of One World: 'Down to Earth' and 'One Less Lonely Girl' are uncomplicatedly beautiful and earnest.

Not surprisingly, My World is long on sugary puppy-love ballads and dinky dance-pop confections; diabetics are advised to stay away.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone
He's 65 inches of pure love panther, with sensitive-man bangs and a voice like Joey McIntyre getting savagely beaten by the AutoTune police.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe
Bieber is indistinguishable from any of a thousand prefab pop aspirants with musical inadequacies that need glossing over in the studio.

Matt C. gave it a0:
Crappy vocoded pop.
Alicia gave it a3:
His voice and album sound like something that belonged on the highschool musical soundtrack.I bought this album as Usher produces it and was greatly dissapointed on how childish this album really is.Perfect for 12 -14 year olds.
Tony P. gave it a0:
Tedious and overrated. Justin Bieber needs to hit puberty because his voice sounds like an eight-year-old boy or a girl. His songs are about love, and yet it gets very repetitive. Do not buy!
caleb r. gave it a0:
I really do not get what the big is about this kid is. hes really not that great of a singer, sure hes decent but people are acting like hes the messiah of music which hes not. and plus he freaking 15 so (since he obviously hasnt yet) when he starts puberty in a year or so. his voice wont be the same and he most likely wont be able to sing as well anymore (this kid aint no michael) and the lyrics are absolutely retarded. just avoid this cd and the kid.
Trey M gave it a10:
People need to research before the review. Justin Bieber isn't Disney. That's the think that's so different about him, he was self made and didn't need Disney to over-promote him. A great album and can't wait until what's instore for the future.
Tiny Tim gave it a0:
This is simply overproduced, generic blabber that is surely only enjoyable to preteen girls. Don't waste your money, or even your time by giving it a listen.
Amos D gave it a1:
Not too good at all, if he wants a real career he should stop using autotune and break away from Disney. Its obvious that they made this album, if he can make a good record by himself there is hope.
