==Critical reception==
The album received generally positive reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic stated "() it's a terrific little pop record () an unexpected gift, a slick, tuneful set of pure sugarcoated fun. Here, melody runs through both the verses and choruses, the hooks dig deeper, not just on the tracks helmed by Martin, but on the Orgliasso sisters' songs, too."〔 Laura Sinagra from ''Blender'' complimented their songs “4ever“, which she said sounded like "() a remix of Kelly Clarkson's “Since U Been Gone” ()" and “When It All Falls Apart“ which has "() the marching, singalong wistfulness of great late-’80s arena pop." But she called the ballads "() copious () dull()" but complimented their cover of Tracy Bonham’s hit Mother Mother.〔 E! Online gave the album a C grade complementing "4ever" as "() an endearing pop take on the Donnas' slutty garage rock." But then said the album "() feels like it was designed by committee, with each track sounding like a second generation Xerox of the token girlie rocker hit on the last five Now! compilations()"〔 Christian Hoard from Rolling Stone Magazine said that "4ever" was the only exceptional song on the album while the rest of it "() is overrun with bland, airbrushed introspection like "Mother Mother" and "Nobody Wins."〔 Slant Magazine called the album "() so damned slick and irresistible() There's a punky sassiness to most of the album()"〔 Dan Raper of PopMatters compared their style of music to those of Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson. He complimented their songs "Revolution", "Leave Me Alone", "Mouth Shut" and "Heavily Broken" stating that "()half the songs on the record fall into this mould of attractively packaged, unremarkable pop."〔 Craig Mathieson of ''The Age'' gave positive reviews for "4ever" and "Revolution" but criticised the rest of the album.〔 The New York Times said the album had "Sugar-sharp songs with a hint of intrigue()", and Entertainment Weekly also complimented them stating "Guilty pleasure or not, these girls won't be a Secret for long."〔The New York Times and Entertainment Weekly reviews for The Secret Life of.
