Given the phenomenal success of Britney Spears' debut, ...Baby One More Time, it should come as no surprise that its sequel offers more of the same. After all, she gives away the plot with the ingenious title of her second album, Oops!...I Did It Again, essentially admitting that the record is more of the same. It has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made One More Time. Fortunately, she and her production team not only have a stronger overall set of songs this time, but they also occasionally get carried away with the same bewildering magpie aesthetic that made the first album's "Sodapop" -- a combination of bubblegum, urban soul, and raga -- a gonzo teen pop classic. It doesn't happen all that often -- the clenched-funk revision of the Stones' deathless "Satisfaction" is the most obvious example -- but it helps give the album character apart from the well-crafted dance-pop and ballads that serve as its heart. In the end, it's what makes this an entertaining, satisfying listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
This second album by the former Mouseketeer turned nymphet heartthrob breaks little new ground compared to BABY ONE MORE TIME. The formula here remains, deliberately, the same: a candy-colored mix of Eurodance, hip-hop, and old-fashioned pop ballads. As before, the lyrics split theRolling Stone (6/8/00, p.118) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Fantastic pop...with much better song-factory hooks than 'N Sync or BSB get....Britney's demand fro satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock&roll tradition."
Entertainment Weekly (5/19/00, pp.71-2) - "...Reminds us once again that the best new pop can be a blast of cool air in a stifling room....palpitating, bass-heavy constructs...you'll feel as if you've been whisked away to some steely futuristic gotham..." - Rating: B
NME (Magazine) (5/27/00, p.42) - 8 out of 10 - "...She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form....the songs get into your brain like ketamine. An all-encompassing, horrendously realised high..."
