Just as the Osmonds spun off solo careers for younger siblings Marie and Jimmy in the '70s, Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys now sees 12-year-old brother Aaron bringing his own album to the kid-pop table. The closest this Disney Radio-ready disc gets to naughtiness is "My Internet Girl," a squeaky-clean celebration of instant-messaging. It fits right in with whitewashed, piping-voiced takes on '60s hits such as "I Want Candy" and "Iko Iko," and the lite-funk of the title track. Almost quaint in its preteen tone, Aaron's Party is certainly suitable listening for even the youngest kids. --Rickey Wright

 A paradigm of rhetorical reflections July 3, 2001

When I first discovered this recording, I was awestruck by the sharp wit and political satire that Aaron so cleverly placed through his brilliant facade of pop music. But after several times through, i realized that this album is not just a commentary on social uprising in a post-apocalyptic culture. The dynamics of interbeing of "Aaron's Party: Come and Get It" present a poignant, pensive collection of innermost emotional demons from two standpoints - Mr. Carter's, and the people in his life - those he loves, hates, feels, breathes. A shrewd, delightful, and satirical inspection of the rise and fall of media-induced, socially backwards, global mentality practically speak for themselves in such titles as "Aaron's Party: Come and Get It", "I Want Candy", and most notably, "That's How I Beat Shaq". A most riveting opus from beginning to end.
Incredible. May 26, 2001

It really is one of the worst albums I've ever heard in my life.
Painful just to listen to January 17, 2001

It's unfortunate that after the amount of people it takes to assemble a pop album, its still not possible to listen to without becoming ill. Aaron Carter was fortunate enough to have a brother in the Backstreet Boys, another awful, talentless pop act. Thus, with even less talent than his older brother, his parents whined him into the music industry. Now, we are left with a collection of poor singing and even worse rapping by a 12 year old who has been snatched out of school and given a job which he shall never suceed in-being a decent preformer. Why can't we just give record contracts to people who deserve them?

If your over the age of 12... then this is definitely not a CD for you. Filled with remakes of 50s/60s songs and a few new "jams", this CD makes you laugh more than anything else. Aaron Carter is a product of his record company. He has no say whatsoever as to what he sings or how the music sounds. Basically they hand him a sheet, say "sing this", and he does it. They ask him to smile... snap a few photos... go on a few TV shows and WHAM! your a star. There are a lot more harder working musicians who you should spend you money on. Let Aaron grow up and then maybe he should try again.

There has been a raging disucussion over the eptiome of artistic talent and expression. A work so immense, its impact radiates through generations and generations. Homer's the Odessy? Shakespeare's Hamlet? Michelangelo's David? Nay my dear friends... I believe we can close the book.Aaron Carter's release is a powerful, epic, all consuming look into the inner workings of man, nature and the universe. It is the culmination of brilliance and emotion, fused into an awe inspiring work that none can refute.
"How I beat Shaq", an immense metaphor of the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.
"I want Candy" brings forth Aaron's God-like use of diction. His words weave a brilliant tapestry of emotion. This stunning representation of desire and longing can only permeate through our society as the pinnacle of artistic achievement. I am not ashamed to say that I wept openly through this entire CD -- no, this entire masterpiece. Aaron Carter is an oasis in the deserted abyss of artistic mediocrity. Thank you Aaron Carter, I and others will certainly "Come and get it"
