''All Music Guide'' gave it 4 out of 5 stars, while ''Rolling Stone'' gave it 2 out of 5, noting that, "While several Cherion-crafted kiddie-funk jams serve up beefy hooks, shameless schlock slowies, like 'E-Mail My Heart,' are pure spam." ...Baby One More Time review Stephen Thomas Erlewine [10] ''Rolling Stone'' later featured Spears on their April 1999 cover in a photo shoot that triggered speculation the seventeen-year-old had breast implants.[11] The success of Spears’s music coupled with her controversial image made her one of the year's biggest stars.

Spears released her third studio album ''Britney'' in November 2001. This was the first album where Spears assumed some creative control by co-writing five of the album's tracks. It had a successful debut at number one in the U.S., selling 745,744 units during its first week, surpassing Michael Jackson's album ''Invincible''.[20] The album's success made her the only female artist in SoundScan history to have their first three albums debut at number one.[21][9] The album fared well with critics such as ''All Music Guide'' who gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, describing the album's title tracks as being "pivotal moments on Britney Spears’s third album, the record where she strives to deepen her persona, making it more adult while still recognizably Britney."[23] In contrast ''Rolling Stone'' said of the album, "''Britney''" belabors the obvious: "Spears is one month away from entering her twenties and clearly needs to grow up if she's going to bring her fans along."[24] The singles did not perform as well; ''Britney's lead single "I'm a Slave 4 U" peaked at 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the album's biggest hit. Britney's chart history ''Billboard'' editors To help promote the album, Spears embarked on the Dream Within a Dream Tour in November 2001. The tour hit a sour note in Mexico City when she was forced to cut short her last show due to bad weather, resulting in many upset audience members.[25]

''In the Zone'' topped the U.S. charts in its debut week, selling over 609,000 copies. This made Spears the only female in music history to have her first four studio albums debut at number one. Britney Spears Sells 609,000 Copies Of 'In The Zone' ''Yahoo! Music'' Staff The album had a mild reception from critics. Stylus Magazine gave the album a D and even blamed Spears’s career choices by stating, "Ultimately, ''In the Zone'' suffers greatly from Britney's uneasy transition from teen tart to sexually powerful woman. Had Britney been in charge of her career direction instead of mercilessly prostituted by her management, she might have been able to produce something with some semblance of musical vision."[31] ''The Guardian'' praised the album's melodies and her effort, giving it 4 out of 5 stars and writing, "Unlike previous Britney albums, ''In the Zone'' has no filler and no shoddy cover versions, just 57 varieties of blue-chip hit-factory pop. There is southern hip-hop, deep house, Neptunes-style R&B, the ubiquitous Diwali beat and, most importantly, oodles of Madonna."[32] The album spawned the international number one and U.S. top ten hit single ''Toxic'', winning Spears her first ever Grammy in the category of Best Dance Recording.
