Editorial Review:
Being, as she is, the daughter of prominent British actor Keith Allen, the cynics could easily dismiss the rise of Lily Allen as an act of backroom nepotism, a talent-free starlet helped to the stage by the right connections. But one listen to her debut album Alright, Still dispels any doubts about young Ms. Allen's star quality. Possessed of a feisty wit and taste for urban storytelling that should see her compared to Mike "The Streets" Skinner, these 11 tracks of sunshine-friendly reggae-pop cover topics including frustrating potential closing-time suitors ("Knock 'Em Out"), being happy when your ex is having a bad time ("Smile"), and having a little brother who likes a bit of a smoke--and not just of the tobacco variety ("Alfie"). Wisely, however, Allen doesn't let the grittiness of the subject matter tarnish the golden pop suss of the songs, a suite of gleaming productions by names including Mark Ronson and Gwen Stefani collaborator Greg Kurstin that take inspirat! ion from the lighter end of reggae and vintage rocksteady. Doubtless some corners of the press will pillory her as a poor role model, but there's an engaging honesty to the likes of "LDN"--a love song to a city filled with teenage muggers, pimps, and crack whores, narrated by someone who's cycling because "the filth took away my license." Like father, like daughter. --Louis Pattison
Alright, Still Reviews:
Lilly Allen ROCKS! 
2008-12-03 - I highly recommend this cd if your looking for something chill to listen to! I bought this cd a month ago and its still in my cd player of my car!
AWESOME!!!
2008-05-21 - I heard her songs on the radio LDN and Smile and I loved them, I bought the album not sure what to expect I was pleasantly surprised I like every song on the album I highly recommend this album if you like what you heard on the radio. Eagerly awaiting her next one.
ooops it is !@#$% bleeped 
2007-09-27 - Good songs, as expected, but a few of the cuss words were edited. My fault for not noticing that in the product info before purchasing...
Upbeat, clever, and saucey
2007-08-24 - The songs are very clever, a few have mature, but not raunchy themes (Not Big). Great, clear sound that is infectious. Kind of an English reggae (but not quite Ska), but very Pop also. I listened to it on the train to work this morning. Worth every penny.
Lily Allen Music
2007-08-13 - Lily Allen is a witty rage-filled artist whose music is both danceable and hilarious to listen to. The skanking beats are just what her lyrics are meant for.
