Know-It-All
Know-It-All is the debut studio album by Canadian singer Alessia Cara. It was released on November 13, 2015 through Def Jam. The album followed the release of her debut extended play (EP) Four Pink Walls (2015), which Cara regarded as a preview of the album. Know-It-All contains the five original songs from Four Pink Walls as well as five new songs recording for the album. Cara co-wrote all the tracks and worked closely with Pop & Oak and Sebastian Kole amongst others.-Wikiepdia

A debut album featuring a strong sense of adolescent idealism and a spoonful of smart cynicism.
-
The Line of Best Fit
Despite her enormous talent, Know-It-All can feel a little rushed.

DIY
"Know It All" isn’t perfect, but it’d be a challenge not to fall for even just some its charms.

The Young Folks
The fact is that Know It All is shaped for one type of listener. It is artfully crafted to appeal to the people who are the ‘anti-social pessimists.’

The Canadian teen makes a promising, if uneven, debut.

The Sound Board
An excellent start to Alessia’s career

Exclaim
A striking standout pop record that portends career longevity.

Verge Campus
This album is anything but boring.

A strong collection of pop/RNB tracks that have been flawlessly executed
-
The Daily Tar Heel
An exceptional display of everything we didn’t know about her, and everything we need to know about who she is as an artist.

Her flexible, bluesy voice reflects them all throughout different styles on her album

Cara wanted her album to tell a story of youth, and that is exactly what Know-It-All does.

With clever samples, tight production and one hell of a charismatic performance, Cara makes a decent, accessible pop space.
-
Flick of the Finger
More albums should be about this – telling stories, making you think, making you relate to the lyrics. Alessia Cara succeed in this regard.

Another Canadian that will make an impact on the US music industry.

Spectrum Pulse
Outside of a few tracks, I doubt I'll remember this, and Alessia Cara deserves a better legacy than that.

Alessia sounds genuine in every song.

Hit The Floor
With all the hype around Alessia over the past year, it’s safe to say that she 100% lives up to it.

Now Toronto
it's equal parts Lorde, Amy Winehouse and 90s R&B.

Bristol Live
There’s a level of self-awareness to the album that most teens don’t possess but, despite that, Know-It-All is a very teenage album.
-
The Granite Tower
A mediocre piece without noticeably outstanding qualities.

The Gryphon
The album reveals her wealth of potential.
-
Wyatt vs. Music
She really creates a solid R&B album.
