Jessica Simpson's third album is a pleasing collection of soft-ish pop, projecting the same squeaky-clean sexuality of her first two releases, with nods in the direction of hip-hop and Madonna-style dance music. With titles such as "Sweetest Sin" and "Forbidden Fruit," it's a fair bet that Simpson has put her past as a poster girl for Christian music behind her--here she comes across like a more mature Britney.
Simpson's at her best on songs like "Loving You," which imaginatively combines a hip-hop beat with a banjo sample in a spare, sexy arrangement that enhances her breathy vocals, while the country-tinged title track is an affecting appeal to be seen for what she is, not what she appears to be. IN THIS SKIN won't disappoint longtime Simpson-lovers and has more than enough broad pop appeal to guarantee her a host of new admirers.

4 of 5 No more individuality Tuesday, August 10, 2004
Chris Eberlein from USA  

Sure, pop star Jessica Simpson can sing...but not particularly on this record. In This Skin possesses poor song material and even poorer singing from this once-belty songstress (check out her 1999 debut Sweet Kisses and you'll know what I mean), and its disappointing sales would've plummeted even further if her hit MTV show "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" hadn't provided her another 15 minutes of fame. Simpson's ditziness proved to be a marketing phenomenom, resulting in instant re-stardom and a household name. In This Skin was reissued in March 2004 with two unoriginal - and in my opinion unnecessary - songs, and pushed Mrs. Nick Lachey to No. 2 on the charts. Not to say that this record doesn't possess potential; it's the fact that most of the songs aren't sleek enough for airplay, or they aren't addictive enough for mainstream music listeners. Vocally, don't expect any Mariah Carey-ish vocals here! Since Irresistible, her once incredible voice has seemed to funnell into what sounds forced and throaty. In This Skin shows us a whole new Jessica, but not one that many might find intriguing.
