All Music Guide - Tim Sendra
Bruno Mars' debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, made the talented singer/writer/producer into a star, racking up hit singles, hosting Saturday Night Live, and becoming something of a romantic icon thanks to loverman anthems like "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade."

    AMAZING album! Bruno picked the perfect title for the album because its definitely unorthodox and with a little bit of everything in each of the songs. The Smeezingtons did a great job
