Jessica Simpson was slammed by a critic for a "bizarre and often frustrating" performance in Ontario, Canada Wednesday.

"It might be unfair calling Jessica Simpson's show at the Avalon Ballroom Wednesday a train wreck -- at some point, a train knows where it's going," John Law wrote in the Niagara Falls Review.

Law said the singer -- who is making the transition from pop to country with a new album (out September 9) -- is "still living in a reality show, convinced everyone is so fascinated with her personal life, they'd rather hear her talk than sing."

The concert was more like a "therapy session" for her, he wrote, because she "needs to explain in exhausting detail what every single song is about."

Simpson, 28, dedicated a song called "You're My Sunday" to beau Tony Romo -- and she even discussed flatulence.

"I do pass gas a lot," she told the crowd. "I guarantee it smells like roses."

Law concluded that "Simpson can't deliver a concert worthy of her new record.

"It's hard to take her [seriously] when she declares how much she loves "Destiny" Springfield, and then performs a version of "Son of a Preacher Man" so devoid of soul, Dusty would disown it," he wrote.

    You guys must be kidding !! The only thing she has going for her is she is willing to dress %@!*#y & skanky. That doesn't make you talented or intelligent. Give me a break. Some people are so gullible !! Let's separate sexy from talented. They ARE different.

    I think people are full of crap. Jessica is talented and hot to boot. She can sing better than 90% of the people out there. She may have an off night, but come on, I bet he has messed up in his day to. Jess keep your head up and keep singing. You are doing the Simpson name proud.
