Carly Rae Jepsen sang "At Seventeen" during the top three of the fifth season of "Canadian Idol". "Entertainment Weekly"'s Grady Smith praised her rendition for showcasing her breathy vocals, while Evan Sawdey of "PopMatters" found it to be unoriginal and tone-deaf. Jann Arden released her cover of "At Seventeen" as a single from her seventh studio album "Uncover Me". Arden said that it was the first song she learned to play on the guitar, and identified it as a "perfect coming of age song". AllMusic's Stewart Mason described Arden's take as "downright spooky". The cover peaked at eighty-four on the Canadian Hot 100 "Billboard" chart on May 5, 2007, and remained on the chart for six weeks. Arden performed "At Seventeen" on her Uncover Me Tour in 2007. She included the live version on her iTunes exclusive extended play (EP) "Live Session", released in 2007. In 2008, Regine Velasquez recorded a cover of the song on her fifth cover album "Low Key". For the album, she included songs that she wanted to sing since childhood. The same year, Rhonda Burchmore included her rendition of "At Seventeen" on her studio album "Pure Imagination". Burchmore chose the song based on what the "Herald Sun"'s Jill Fraser referred to as "a deliberate move to more popstyle songs".
