==Critical Reception== Following its release, "Guilty Pleasure" generated mixed reviews from critics and has a 48 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on six critical reviews. The most positive of reviews came from Allmusic's Stephen Erlewine, who gave the album three and a half stars out of five, stating that when Tisdale ''"sticks to the surface, she makes sure that Guilty Pleasure lives up to its title".'' However, the ballads were not as well received, stating that Tisdale ''"isn't convincing when she tries to deal in either pain or carnality".'' Billboard gave the album a mixed review with four and a half stars out of ten, stating Tisdale "can deliver the radio-ready goods" but criticized the album as a whole and that it ''"doesn't give the singer room to comfortably let loose".'' Digital Spy's Nick Levine praised the album for Tisdale's new sound, comparing her to the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson. Levine praised tracks such as "It's Alright, It's OK", "Erase and Rewind" and "Hot Mess", however was not impressed with "Crank It Up", stating it ''"shamelessly rips off Britney's robopop sound, right down to the Spears-aping vocals"''; he went on to give the album three out of five stars. The most negative of reviews came from Margaret Wappler of the Los Angeles Times who only gave the album one and a half out of four stars. Wappler said the album has "few glimmers of hope" and went on to criticize the producers as ''"not seem[ing] to have gifted Tisdale with their best work."''
