Jessica Simpson was just 17 when she made her successful debut album. This followup makes it plain that she and her music have matured, with tracks ranging from straight-up, danceable pop to harder, groove-laden funk, R&B, ballads, and even gospel. Collaborating with such notables as Marc Anthony, Nick Lahey of 98 Degrees, Walter Afanasieff (Celine Dion) and Corey Rooney (Jennifer Lopez), Jessica is claiming her stake in the industry with this release.
The title track lives up to its name, a slice of hook-filled R&B-flavored pop. The same goes for "A Little Bit," where Simpson demands that her man takes care of his share and that "a little bit goes a long way." "There You Were" (a duet With Marc Anthony) is a well-crafted ballad. The other ballads hold up just as well, particularly "For Your Love," in which Jessica sounds like a seasoned veteran. On harder tracks like "Hot Like Fire" and "What's It Gonna Be," Simpson asserts herself and refuses to be played by a playa. Jessica's been singing gospel since she was young, and goes back to her roots on "His Eye Is On The Sparrow," piping out a large dose of soul.

Q (Summer/01, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Not bad at all....'A little Bit' and 'What's It Gonna BE' are multi-layered treats..."

Great Jessica gets better with each album she does. Submitted by christina3063 (Southern Pines, NC) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Not her exactly This is Jessica's sophomore album. Not her style exactly, the company told her that she had to drop down to a certain weight, and made Jessica sexy physically, even though Jessica claims she wasn't comfortable wearing revealing clothe. This album has great songs like "For Your Love", "What's It Gonna Be", "Hot Like Fire", "I Never" and "There You Were" duet with Marc Anthony. Yet you can really tell it's not Jessica's style, either way, buy the album! Submitted by Lily (Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Good Songs I don't really like Jessica, but I really like her song called A Little Bit! I think In This Skin title is good to with Forbidden Fruit!! Submitted by Emily (Los Angeles,CA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
great album i never liked ms. simpson before, but seriously, this album is really good. The song may be a bit stupid at times, but regardless her voice is amazing...especially on the duet with marc anthony. She sounds awesome. I give her 10 out of 10. IN THIS SKIN is way better, but i'm telling you...that duet makes this cd. Submitted by Richard (Los Angeles, CA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
