Ian Cohan of MTV Hive described the album as "classic alt-rock with a distinctly Fueled By Ramen edge." Cam Lindsay at "Exclaim!" characterized it as "high-energy/high-emotion pop punk," while AllMusic's Jason Lymangrover states " fills the majority of her punk-pop tales with emo angst and declarations of boy woes." It is also declared as one of 2007's most popular emo pop albums by Andrew Leahey of AllMusic. Johnathan Bradley at "Stylus Magazine" labeled it as "irrepressible power pop". Alternative Press wrote "Paramore...have created 11 more-than-competent pop-rock numbers."
