"Unlike some people, I think Michelle is brillent. She was the first of the young, more main stream singer/songwriters. She was before Avril or Vanessa, and never gets the credit she deserves. AYW may not be the most profound thing I've ever heard, but you have to realized she was 17 when The Spirit Room came out and was probably only 16 1/2 when she wrote AYW, so give her a chance and if you didn't like her older stuff, definatly check out her new CD Hotel Paper, it's much more mature, and has songs that are even better then AYW."
Emotional Depth

"Below, this song is criticized for its simple, unintellectual nature. I consider myself to be an intellectual, and I am displeased by many recent artists whose work seems to contain little or no substance. However, I do not consider Michelle Branch to be in this category, specifically in the case of this song. "All You Wanted" has an emotional depth to it that the works of other artists appear to lack. As opposed to the works of many other artists, where so-called love songs often degenerate to little more than displays of lust, the speaker in this song has come to know the object of her affection well enough to see his loneliness and insecurity. However, in spite of these problems, the speaker still loves this person, perhaps even more so because of them. The depths of true affection seem to shine through her words. I consider this song to be among the best from today's artists. Five stars."
