Background and development


style="text-align:left;"I had been in studio for about six months listening and recording material, but I hadn't really heard a hit yet. When I started working with Max Martin in Sweden, he played the demo for 'Baby One More Time' for me, and I knew from the start it one was of those songs you want to hear again and again. It just felt really right. I went into the studio and did my own thing with it, trying to give it a little more attitude than the demo. In 10 days, I never even saw Sweden. We were so busy.

Rovi Corporation |first=Stephen Thomas|last=Erlewine |date=1999-01-12 |accessdate=2008-11-13 and commented that, by the time Spears launched her career, "everything old was new again", comparing the album to '' Hangin' Tough '' (1988) by New Kids on the Block . Erlewine further complimented the quality of the singles while praising Max Martin, "who is also the mastermind behind Spears' debut." Entertainment Weekly s Beth Johnson noted the singer "sounds remarkably like the Backstreet Boys ' kid sister", saying, however, that this was "not surprising, since BSB hit-meister Max Martin wrote the candy-pop-with-a-funky-edge smash debut."cite web|url= http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,286184,00.html |title=...Baby One More Time (1999) |work= Entertainment Weekly |publisher= Time Warner |first=Beth |last=Johnson |date=1998-12-18 |accessdate=2008-11-13 Robert Christgau commented Spears portrayed a "Madonna next door" in the album with songs like "...Baby One More Time" and "Soda Pop", while Craig McDennis of The Hamilton Spectator said the album "offers a glib compendium of soul/pop cliches, served with a giddy, uptempo verve that recalls Debbie Gibson on a chocolate high."cite news|url= http://travel.canoe.ca/AllPop-SpearsBritney/cd_baby1.html|title=Bopper babe's CD glib collection of cliches|last=McDennis|first=Craig|date=1999-01-12|accessdate=2011-09-03|work= The Hamilton Spectator |publisher=Dana Robbins Amazon.com 's Rickey Wright gave ...Baby One More Time a mixed review, saying that "a few of the disc's cuts are pleasantly catchy", noting, however, "neither does the 17-year-old Spears's debut album contain anything else that remotely approaches that instant hit single '...Baby One More Time'." Billboard (magazine)|Billboard 's Paul Verna considered the album "a top 40-ready workout filled with hook-laden songs from the same bag as the title cut".cite journal|url= http://books.google.com/books? id=1Q0EAAAAMBAJ|title=Albums|date=1999-01-30|work= Billboard (magazine)|Billboard |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc|accessdate=2011-10-08|last=Verna|first=Paul|issn=0006-2510

Toronto Sun journalist Jane Stevenson found it "somehow appropriate that the first new teen queen of 1999 is a former Mousketeer",cite web|url= http://travel.canoe.ca/AllPop-SpearsBritney/cd_baby2.html|title=Britney Spears' debut rather lackluster|last=Stevenson|first=Jane|date=1999-01-17|accessdate=2011-09-03|work= Toronto Sun |publisher=Mike Power despite commenting that "for the most part, this 11-song collection threatens to turn your brain into mush." Stevenson, however, noted "it's only when the material slightly elevates itself, that Spears—who counts her favourite singers as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson —is not half bad", praising songs like " Sometimes (Britney Spears song)|Sometimes ", "Soda Pop", "I Will Be There", and the cover version of " The Beat Goes On ". Kyle Anderson of MTV said he "was surprised in more ways than one "with his first listening of ...Baby One More Time , commenting he "expected there to be a lot of filler (there sort of is), though I didn't expect it to be as odd (at least sonically) as it ended up being. There has never been any mystery to why Spears became such a superstar, but these songs probably would have been huge even if Britney wore burlap sacks in all of her videos."

Now grow up, girl. Quick!"
