Know-It-All is the debut album by Canadian recording artist Alessia Cara. It was released on November 13, 2015 through Def Jam. It follows the release of her extended play (EP) Four Pink Walls, which was regarded as a preview of the album. Know-It-All received generally positive reviews from music critics, receiving a 70 out of 100 on the review aggregate website Metacritic based on 7 reviews, indicating quot;generally favorable reviewsquot;. quot;Going by the level of potential shown here, it's evident that Cara will eventually need a lot less creative assistance.quot; Billboard was also positive in it's review of the album: quot;As first impressions go, Know-It-All is a charismatic balance between dreams and reality that makes it's author stick out in the most impressive way.quot; Exclaim!'s, Ryan B. Patrick wrote that quot;while [Know-It-All] is a tad formulaic, it's terrifically executed and solidly produced... Cara's debut is a striking standout pop record that portends career longevity.quot; Pitchfork Media was more mixed: quot;Writing from the heart does not automatically imbue lyrics with depth. Never is it more apparent that the factory approach is not allowing Cara to fulfill her potential than on quot;Scars to Your Beautiful.quot; Universal. 2016.
