Editorial Review:
A Public Affair is a disco-studded, stunningly entertaining, 13-song slab of energetic white-girl pop. From the summer-fizzy first song and title track--which lifts, improbably, from both Madonna and the Supremes--Simpson tears out of the gate refusing to fall back on stale-sounding power ballads, something of a signature in the past. "You Spin Me Round" updates the Dead or Alive '80s hit; the vampy and innovative "B.O.Y." borrows from a vintage Cars track; and "Walkin' 'Round in a Circle," about as sleepy a track as you'll find here, seems to put a kind of pop spit-shine on a tune both Stevie Nicks and Ryan Adams popularized. Later tracks, including the excellent Louis Prima-inspired "Swing with Me" and the shockingly urban-sounding "Fired Up," bring Simpson's inner femme fatale to the fore. Let's hope it doesn't slink away anytime soon--other Simpson discs have been forgettable, but this is an affair to remember. --Tammy La Gorce

Jessica Simpson
2009-12-09 - I was never a fan of Jessica's music although found her to be a great dancer and entertainer. I've never owned a single Jessica Simpson CD or single, just didn't like her music. I bought this CD after hearing some of the new songs on the radio and actually really enjoyed the CD. It has energy and is light-hearted and fun. Now I own all of her Cds!!
Thank you!
2009-12-07 - When I bought this CD, I received it only 2 days later. Very fast shipping! Thank you.
JESSICA SIMPSON "A PUBLIC AFFAIR" 
2008-09-15 - I've been a fan of Jessica Simpson's since "I Wanna Love You Forever" and after listening to that song, if you do become a fan, it's clear why...her voice. I like her as a person, she can be funny on Newlyweds, personally I think it's a bit of an act, I don't think she's as stupid as she makes out, but if she is, good for her for making loads of money.
Back to the music, her latest album is country, some people haven't taken to it and some people will just dismiss it simply because it's Jessica Simpson, I personally love it, but that's a different review. On "A Public Affar" the songs are just like her first two albums, very pop, but for me, it's her voice that always comes out on top, she might not be in the same league as Mariah Carey or Tina Arena, vocally, but she's way ahead of most singers who are having success these days. I think "Walkin' 'Round In A Circle," "The Lover In Me" and "Back To You" are the three best songs on the album, "Walkin' 'Round In A Circle" and "The Lover In Me" are two catchy midtempo songs and "Back To You" is a nice ballad that shows her voice of nicely, any of the three (if not all) should have been released as singles.
I think "A Public Affair," "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)," "If You Were Mine," "Walkin' 'Round In A Circle," "The Lover In Me," "Swing With Me," "Push Your Tush," (even with it's cheesey lyrics) "Back To You," "I Don't Want To Care" and "I Belong To Me" are all brilliant songs, I'm not that keen on "B.O.Y.," "Between You & I," "Fired Up" and "Let Him Fly" but the rest of the album is great.
