Reviews

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic writes that All I Ever Wanted may be less dark than its predecessor My December , but that the album still doesn't completely ignore the rocking elements. He praises the versatility of the artist and says that Clarkson's voice sounds best with the voluminous refrains accompanied by guitars . Erlewine sums up that Kelly Clarkson has a rare talent and that the album largely satisfies the artist's abilities. The music magazine Rolling Stone notes that the hit single My Life Would Suck Without You and their 2004 hit Since U Been Gone are very similar and attributes this to the participation of Swedish producer Max Martin. The reviewer also sees this as the greatest criticism of the album. Dani Fromm from laut.de remarked that Kelly Clarkson couldn't use her vocal skills in the louder passages, and that the songs were very similar to each other.
