Critic Reviews
Seduced by Chrissie Hynde's feline look, I disregard the talk of being, in fact, a solo album of hers and I respect her struggle to stand on her feet.
I don’t think I’ve ever sat with a full Pretenders album before — mostly just the greatest hits. Packed! feels like a competent collection of rock/pop songs, solidly constructed but not always gripping from start to finish.
Chrissie Hynde has a sneaky great singing voice when she lets it breathe and avoids leaning too hard into the vibrato. There’s an understated coolness to her delivery that works best when she keeps it relaxed and direct.

I liked this album for the lyrics, the vocal performance and the drum work but the guitars are so generic and boring. The lyrics are really fun, especially on tracks like Millionaires, which has some solid social commentary ideas that are well integrated. If the instrumentation would've been better written then I would've ranked higher.
