    Although it is not intelligent rock, I didnt expect it to be. I knew I what I ws getting into when purchasing, a California pop album. But we all love California pop even if it is not as clever or deep like some others. I do find this CD enjoyable, and the song "Stay Away" is just too catchy to leave my brain.

    An acceptably underwhelming, state of the art, guitar-centric pop record.

    Rooney is the real deal, and this self-titled debut is perfect summer pop fun that aims to bring a little sophistication to the tried-and-true mainstream boredom, referencing the past and updating it for the present.

    Simple, charming and surprisingly innocent. [#17, p.143]
