It's not that Lavigne hasn't matured, but it's that her talents are better suited on music that's a little less contemplative and deliberate than Under My Skin.

An altogether more satisfying supply of air punching, stadium sized choruses.

As contrived as the results can be, there's no denying the level of craft at work.
70
Lavigne doesn’t incorporate any new ideas on Skin; instead, she shines up her old ones, often multitracking her voice to make sure you don’t miss the mile-wide choruses.
60
Bubble-gum pop it ain't, but Avril's real appeal is in translating teen angst into believably insipid lyrics – the ones here are charmingly raw.
50
While the hooks here are undeniable, Avril’s lyrics are often vague or archetypical.

As an album it's just too inconsistent to jump up to the next level.

Lavigne certainly has the vocal equipment to cope, simpering dejectedly at the outset and belting it out at the climax, but it is hard to muster much excitement.

Avril Lavigne’s sophomore album 'Under My Skin' was everything I wanted her debut album to be. In addition to my favorite Avril song, “Nobody’s Home” being on this album, the album contains tons of that perfect Avril Lavigne punk rock that we all know and love. The album is more mature, edgy, and overall just better than “Let Go”. I was definitely not let down.
Definitivamente é melhor que o debut. Enquanto o seu antecessor tem muita música bobinha e sem muita personalidade, esse aqui nos transmite uma vibe bem mais madura considerando que as melodias e a composição estão bem mais sérias.
