Review

It may not have made huge waves, but Jesse McCartney's debut album, Beautiful Soul, was an undeniable hit, one of the biggest hits on the tween scene since Hilary Duff no longer belonged just to Radio Disney. McCartney filled the hole Duff left behind at Radio Disney, as his slick, sugary confections constantly played on that channel and on The Disney Channel, too. It set the stage perfectly for a mainstream crossover, just as Hilary Duff made serious inroads outside of the Disney community after her second album, and that's what his 2006 sophomore effort, Right Where You Want Me, was designed to be. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite deliver on its intentions. Right Where You Want Me goes just a little bit too far in making McCartney into a mainstream star -- rather, it goes a little bit too far in making McCartney mature, removing the snap from his bubblegum by giving him too many ballads to sing and too much production to sing through. He amiably gives it his all, yet the problem doesn't lie with McCartney: it's with the material and its presentation, which is too reserved for tweens, too kiddie for adult contemporary. So, it's the equivalent of musical puberty: McCartney may be closing in on 20, but this finds him in his awkward phase where he's not a boy yet not a man, and the record will only please those fans who are sticking by him through their own awkward phases. Fortunately, McCartney is enough of a showbiz pro that when he survives this transition, he'll be able to come through and deliver a good third album that builds on the better sections of this record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Album information

Right Where You Want Me debuted at number 15 on the US Albums chart, beating the first week sales of Jesse's first album Beautiful Soul, but the success was short-lived and it failed to reach the success of his debut. The album sold approximately 268,000 copies in the United States with poor international sales (except in Taiwan and Italy where it went gold[citation needed]) leading to the release being a seen as a "sophomore slump". The album has sold over 600,000 copies worldwide going Gold in Taiwan & Italy accounts to over 100,000 of the sales. In Brazil the album sold only 3,500 copies.

The first single of the same name, "Right Where You Want Me", was not as successful as his debut and signature single "Beautiful Soul", peaking at number thirty-three (#33) on the US Billboard Hot 100. The video for his second single "Just So You Know" was shot and officially released, though the single never received a full release in the US due to lack of support from his current record label, as stated in an email from Sherry, one of Jesse's managers. It did chart in several European countries though.[2] He did have a third single called "Just Go" but it was only released in Italy.Following the low support, McCartney went back to the studios again writing and recording for his third album.[3][4]
