Reception

In addition, the lingering stupidity of the first two albums the group had disappeared and the band became more mature. The magazine The Observer, which has two different reviews wrote to CD, these valued negatively, noting sarcastically that advocated three of Disney, American Protestant benefactor siblings on a mission is to save the moral cesspit rock ' n ' roll. The Slant Magazine felt that the album, despite good sales figures the Jonas Brothers were not for the opportunity to emerge from the shadows of teen - pop music. The Los Angeles Times claimed that the band show with some songs of the album vulnerability, but it was overall still rather bland and also having little depth.
