Det går godt for Ashlee Simpson. Hendes to tidligere albums har efterhånden solgt hen ved 4 mill. eksemplarer i Amerika alene, hendes tournéer har været udsolgt og den sideløbende skuespilkarriere er også i fremdrift. "Life is really good right now. I'm young. I love my life and I enjoy my time off too. I wanted to celebrate all that on my next record," har Ashlee sagt om denne udgivelse, og hvem ringer man til, når noget skal fejres? Superproduceren Timbaland naturligvis, som senest har fejret nye triumfer med Justin Timberlake og Nelly Furtado. Sammen med The Neptunes' Chap Hugo har Timbaland skabt et album som til dels er en tilbagevenden til Ashlees pop-rock-rødder, og når hun på "Rule breaker" synger "We like to break rules/both got tattoos/We tend to smash things/and we like to scream" fremstår hun igen som Avril Lavigne light. Andre steder prøver de to at effektuere Ashlees dance-pop med synkoperede beats og grunge-guitar. Ashlee Simpson kan man nemlig forme som man vil, når stil går forud for substans.

"Names such as Timbaland and Santogold crop up in the credits to Bittersweet World, which is the first red herring: Ashlee Simpson's third album is all about her, and much of the time she's just playing with us. The prevailing impression is that she has grown up and lightened up, the earnest, angsty moods replaced by an exuberant fusion of crunchy 1980s rock and noughties pop".

"The album is arranged almost like a female pop music buffet: there’s a bit of everything but no distinct focus or flavor. The best tracks are the lead single “Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)”, which is the designated Gwen Stefani shout-pop-rock track, and “Boys”, the clubby Kylie Minogue track, as produced by Timbaland and Chad Hugo respectively. The latter has the most effective hook on the album and over the bubbling synth pop beat--that sounds like distorted accordions—Simpson has a sweet vocal command, though with obvious effects-help".

"Et helt album med flintrende ligegyldig samlebåndspop ... [Men] der er såmænd enkelte numre, som har et umiskendeligt hitpotentiale".

"»Bittersweet World« er nemlig propfyldt med den slags tidløs pop, der stadig holder en »forældet« popstjerne som Kim Wilde i live. Det sprudler, og det hopper ud af højtalerne. Og så er sange som »Boys« og »Little Miss Obsessive« - ja, tør jeg sige det.. både iørefaldende og alt andet end dumme".
