A number of the reviewers who panned this album apparentely did so because of Samantha's other activities, such as posing topless for magazines.  That stuff is irrelevant to how the album sounds.  Overall, the album is a good compilation of 80s dance/pop music.  Solid ear candy for children of the 80s.  Even if Sam's voice isn't the greatest [but I'm not the best judge - not a vocalist myself], it doesn't matter that much because the catchy melodies and grooves are what matter to this type of music.  This album is bouncy; makes for good background music while you're doing stuff around the house.  Worth it.
