Rock-n-Roller (sometimes stylised Rock N' Roller) is the second album from Canadian singer-songwriter Suzie McNeil, released on November 4, 2008. It was reissued the following year as Rock-n-Roller: Reloaded to feature an additional song, a cover of Saving Jane's "Supergirl." Three singles released from the album, including the aforementioned "Supergirl", which became McNeil's most successful single to date when it peaked at No. 26 on the Canadian Hot 100.

Critical reception

The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Matthew Chisling from AllMusic labelled the album "almost as good" as Broken & Beautiful, explaining that in spite of Rock-n-Roller being generally "quite excellent", "the repetitiveness of some tracks limits their overall quality." The staff of Metro Canada gave a more negative review, describing the material as "sterile" and "so L.A." Ranking the album two stars out of five, the newspaper remarked that "this should be the kind of music that never goes out of style [...] But it only works if you have something new and special to offer."
