Carter’s CD opens with the up-tempo yet nostalgic “19 in 99,” which is easy to sing along to, and it is followed by an upbeat duet with Canadian songstress Avril Lavigne entitled “Get Over Me.”
While “California” may be a bit overproduced, it is a neat track about “The Golden State.” “Second Wind” is more mellow and soothing than the previous songs, and “Swet” is catchy and fun. In the ballad “Cherry Pie,” Carter showcases his impressive falsetto.
“Tijuana” is an upbeat and infectious track, which is worthy of the repeat button. Melodically, the title track “All American” has a Bowling for Soup (“1985”) vibe to it. “Man on the Moon” is a noteworthy piano-driven ballad, while “Horoscope” is a great deal of fun. It closes with the acoustic ballad “I Will Wait.”
