Critic Reviews
Show All-
Saving Country Music
It’s a harmless, somewhat outdated-feeling, somewhat country sounding, innocuous mainstream country record with a few decent moments and a few stinkers.
-
All Music
moments when it feels as if Keith still likes Laying back and kicking a few tunes out, not caring about where they may place on the charts -- are what make 35 MPH Town worth a spin.
-
Sputnik Music
If you're a fan of Keith, you'll buy it and love it, it's well produced. If you don't like the music, you won't buy the album.
-
Sounds Like Nashville
A versatile release that showcases why the singer was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
-
Newsday
An album that occasionally runs into a decent song despite its determination to tick off every conceivable country music cliche.
-
One Country
His Town is reliable but nothing especially spectacular.
-
Spectrum Pulse
Recommended if you're a fan, but it's nothing you haven't heard before.
-
Entertainment
An observational record with plenty of light and shade that will keep longtime fans of Toby’s very happy.
-
CM Chat Live
Kudos to Toby Keith for keeping true to himself, and recording an album that showcases who he is – instead of trying to cut something for radio’s sake.
-
Daily Mail UK
Keith's clever lyrical twists and narratives make the trek fresh and fun. Long may he keep cruising.
-
Spin
He’s earned a pass with this one, albeit one through the middle of the road.
-
Renowned for Sound
There’s not exactly anything to praise, but then again there’s nothing to heavily criticise, either.
-
Digital Journal
This album is not his best, but it's by no means his worst either.
-
Your Life in a Song
Keith’s strengths have always been his song writing depth and “Beautiful stranger” that closes the 10 track album is up there with his best. He wrote 9 out the 10 songs on offer.
-
Daily Herald
An album as entertaining as his best.
-
The National
Fresh and fun.
-
Times
Keith continues country music's fixation with island rhythms.
-
Country Standard time
This is Keith being the vocalist that he has been and can be again.
-
Taste of Country
Keith’s mix of stinging heartbreak songs and rowdy bar-rockers is as reliable as high tide.
-
Billboard
Bypasses the cliches and tones down his sometimes overbearing bravado.
-
Herald Standard
Keith is still in the driver’s seat.
-
Mysterious Ramblings
That’s because the whole of it can be distilled down to its barest essence and elevated to its grandest vista in the same breath: Toby Keith. Songwriter.
-
NY Times
“Beautiful Stranger” is a sweaty song about rekindled passion, delivered with Teddy Pendergrass intensity.
-
FYE
Keith went back to the tried and true, crafting songs that fall within his wheelhouse.
