A Public Affair Reviews:
Love it! 
2009-12-12 - Absolutely the greatest. She sounds great on the entire CD. She can sing any type music and the CD is perfect. I don't see how anyone can write anything negative about this CD!!
Best CD Ever!!
2009-12-09 - I love this CD...I'm buying several for friends as gifts to support my girl Jess. This is the best CD Jessica has released. I love every track. For Jessica fans I recommend this CD...For the haters...Stop hating!
Love it!
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!!
can't wait to review this. 
2009-11-09 - i would love to review this product.BUT I NEVER RECEIVED IT IN THE MAIL! STILL WAITING!!!!!!
3-1/2 stars -- Sweet liberation 
2007-04-15 - Unlike her former partner, Jessica Simpson didn't deliver a depressing album full of heartbreak after the divorce was finalized (probably because she's the one that filed for divorce). While A Public Affair isn't her best album (see Irresistible for that), there are still enough good songs to find.
This is another one of those cases where I looked at the other reviews (well, the reviews of the album's original release, anyway) and now I'm wondering if those are the kind of reviewers that think one star and five stars are the only options. Anyway, some people may be wondering why Jess re-released this album just to add "I Belong to Me". Well, I'll briefly compare Jessica to Shakira. After Shakira released "Don't Bother" back in 2005, it didn't become as big a hit as the record company anticipated, so they quickly added on "Hips Don't Lie" and thus created a hit, which in turn helped the album sell more. That's probably what Sony tried to do HERE, but it didn't work. Moreover, things worked out backwards: the title track hit the top 20, while "I Belong to Me" didn't even chart.
But it's still a good song, as are all of the mellow songs, like "I Don't Want to Care", "Between You & I" and "Back to You". Jessica also tries her hand at a few remakes: Patty Griffin's "Let Him Fly" is fine, but Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me `Round" neither helps nor hurts the album. One other thing I noticed is that when Jess goes for club anthems for the ladies, she hits (the title track) and misses ("Fired Up").
There are also a couple of songs that sound like they were left off the Dukes of Hazzard soundtrack: the tolerable "Swing With Me" and the skippable "Push Your Tush". As I said before, A Public Affair isn't Jessica's best album, but it's still decent enough for casual listeners (and she's still nice to look at, too).
