Identified is the second and last studio album by Vanessa Hudgens, released via Hollywood Records July 1, 2008 in the U.S.,[1] June 24, 2008 in Japan, February 13, 2009 in most European countries[2] and February 16, 2009 in the United Kingdom. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. One single has been released to date called "Sneakernight".

Critical reception

Identified has received generally favorable reviews.[3] Billboard said that the album "panders to the preteen demo with stop-start pop that ranges from pleasant (the title track) to dull ("Amazed") to off-putting ("Hook It Up"). But for little girls, this is one nonstop sing-along."[4]

The New York Times said that "a handful of songs like this would have sufficed to help mature her image, and yet "Identified" is far more interesting and unexpected."[5]

Blender gave it a three stars out of five, and claimed that her "voice was made to rip, and when she lets go just a little, the coyness turns sultry—proof that she might just have a life after high school."[6]

Variety said that Identified "shows that the High School Musical veteran is definitely ready to graduate. The better parts of the album find her reaching for a more mature sound, but she hedges her bets with large portions of treacly teen-pop...The weakest link in most of the songs is Hudgens thin, piping voice."[7]
