William Ruhlmann of Allmusic focused part of his review on Lavigne's track, "Alice", describing it as "a typical piece of self-assertive adolescent pop/rock," noting that it was "ideally suited for heavy rotation on Radio Disney." Singling out "White Rabbit" and "Very Good Advice" as the album "oddities," Ruhlmann otherwise decided the album was more appealing toward kids, with nearly all of the songs being "schoolyard chants."[12]
