"TTWE" got
critical acclaim.

Only "Piece of Me" nearly matched the praise "TTWE" got nearly across the board and from numerous types of publications.
"Gimme More" received mixed reviews, "Womanizer" got a lot of critic disdain for being repetitive, immature, sounding like "Ooh Ooh Baby" among a bunch of other negative reviews. Some even compared it to Katy Perry who was just breaking through at the time.

The others were generally positive, with criticisms here and there.
I believe "TTWE" got hate from Slant (usual) and PopJustice (music forum) with predictable Ke$ha comparison. Other than that, it's held to a high regard amongst her discography, much higher than "Womanizer".
