Ouch. Lana Del Rey, formerly Lizzie Grant, recently released her much-hyped debut album, “Born to Die.” The reactions are what you could charitably call “mixed.” Here are the nastiest quotes from the nastiest reviews.

"An inevitable letdown as one unconvincing, lethargic vocal bleeds into the next"
- USA Today

"Diet Mountain Due and Off To The Races aim for chatty, sparkling opulence, but this singer doesnt have the personality to pull it off."
- Pitchfork

"But her voice is pitched and prim, her song doctors need to go the **** back to med school"
- Rolling Stones

"Lana Del Rey isnt nearly as convincing a fiction as David Bowie's, Ziggy Stardust, Madonna Ciccone's name shortened boy-toy persona or even Taylor Swifts character, 'Taylor Swift'."
- Los Angeles Times

"Del Rey has listned to Amy Winehouse, but gets nowhere near the emotion of the late British singers voice. Del Rey's attempts are without the honesty or devil-may-care feel"
- Los Angeles Times

"What Should have been a seductive subterfuge instead grows tedious, erratic and annoyingly faux-minx. It is a put-on she can't pull off."
- USA Today
