All the Right Wrongs
Encyclopedia
All the Right Wrongs has received a generally mixed review from music critics. Popular Disney channel blog disneydreaming.com gave the album a positive review, stating that the songs on the album are fun, and good to dance to. They also said that it was a good start for Osment's career. However, allmusic gave the album a less than stellar review, stating that "After flirting with pop and country on her early recordings, Emily Osment underwent a rock & roll makeover for her debut EP, All the Right Wrongs. Songwriting sessions with Eve 6 and Plain White T's yielded enough punky fodder for the disc, and her transformation was further reflected by a retooled MySpace page, which featured pinups of Radiohead, Beck, the Pixies, and other staples of a respectful record collection." Another popular website, absolutepunk.net was less than enthused with the album as well, stating that "The songs on this six-track piece of pop range from annoying to guilty pleasures, with the EP as a whole leaning towards the former. “All The Way Up", though upbeat, contains mundane lyrics (“It's my life, it’s a riot/ Come on, baby, you can’t deny it”), and boring pop melodies. “Average Girl,” though bouncy, is overall just boring. “Found Out About You,” however is guilty pleasure gold. Though also about boy troubles, the melodies found throughout keep it interesting. Unfortunately, “I Hate the Homecoming Queen” and “You Are the Only One” are next. These two tracks define bubblegum pop at its most nauseating, and the lyrics are atrocious at best (“I hate the homecoming queen/I’m pretty sure she can’t stand me” from “I Hate The Homecoming Queen”). Thankfully, this effort (or lack of it) closes out with “What About Me,” a generic, slowed down ballad that also has the potential to become a guilty pleasure."
" was released as the lead single from the EP on August 25, 2009. The official music video, directed by Roman White, was released on November 30, 2010. The video features Osment, along with Push Play
, performing the song in their apartment building, while the other tenants listen in. The song's lyrics speak of wanting to break free from something, and express yourself. "All the Way Up" debuted at number 77 in the Canadian Hot 100 then a week later peaked at number 76. The song also peaked on the Australian Hitseekers Singles Chart at number 10. "You Are the Only One
" was released as the album's first radio Disney only single on February 27, 2010. The song's release was confirmed during an interview on a local radio station. The music video released features Osment standing in the rain with an umbrella, while singing the song after she finds her boyfriend cheating on her at a party. It failed to make an impact on any charts, but enjoyed some success on Radio Disney, peaking at number 3 on the Top 30 songs. Originally, "You Are the Only One" was intended to be released as the lead single from the album, but was dropped due to Osment wanting to release "All the Way Up" instead.
"Average Girl" was released as the third single on Radio Disney on March 12, 2010. It is the second song on the album to be released strictly as a promotional single. Lyrically, the song speaks of breing broken up with on Valentine's Day, and the heartbreak that is involved with ending a relationship. Due to the single being released only for Radio Disney, no video was made and the song failed to chart. It did, however, reach number 18 on Radio Disney's Top 30 Songs. "What About Me" was released as the third promotional single on March 13, 2010, a day after "Average Girl". The song is a ballad that lyrically speaks of Osment's disappointment that a romance was not like the fairy tales. Due to the single being a promotional release, no video was made. The song received minimum airplay on Radio Disney (due to Average Girl becoming a minor hit on the chart) and failed to chart within Radio Disney's Top 30 Songs.
