Rebirth (Jennifer Lopez album)
Encyclopedia
"Rebirth" received an aggregate score of 52/100 from Metacritic
, denoting "Mixed or average reviews". Allmusic gave the album four stars (out of five) and stated that "Since it doesn't deviate from the blueprint she's followed on her first three albums, it's hard to call this record a literal creative rebirth, but song for song, Rebirth has more energy and better hooks than her other albums. It may not be deep, but it sure is fun — and after the tumult of 2003 and 2004, Lopez sure does deserve to have a little fun".
