Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The superstar’s eleventh studio album pairs her with famous friends ranging from Stevie Nicks to St. Vincent. Inspired and incongruous juxtapositions abound. The remakes comprise the album’s least compelling section.

Crow is vowing this is her final album. If so, with Keith Richards, Maren Morris, St. Vincent, Willie Nelson and more than 20 other featured guests, it's a heck of a retirement banquet.

This album is a true and cathartic celebration of music and features some of the most treasured artists and the most hopeful future prospects. It’s all here and its glorious.

Exclaim!
While it might be daunting to have close to 20 duets of mixed genres all on one album, it works for Crow and her crew. These collaborations show flair and offer a little bit of something for everyone, making Threads that much more appealing.

. . . over 17 tracks, the nine-time Grammy winner shows us that she’s still amazing and there’s a good reason we’ve been waiting for this record to be released.

The Skinny
On what she's claimed will be her last album, nine-time Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow hopes covers and duets are enough to make fans happy.
-
AllMusic
. . . Threads is intended as a summation of her musical worldview. Specifically, it's designed to draw connections between Crow, her idols, and the generations who followed her, all through a variety of covers, collaborations, and duets. . . . This makes for a somewhat somnolent record, but it's better to think of it as not a complete meal but rather a buffet that contains something to please every palette.

Herald Standard
With “Threads,” Crow gives it everything she’s got through a collaborative effort from an extensive list of talented friends on a spectacular set of 17 tracks, consisting of original arrangements as well as some intriguing covers.

Vinyl Chapters
There’s lots to enjoy in Threads, although one is left feeling that it brings her back to safety, and a life skirting pop stardom, 90s celebrity culture and anti-war protests, is banished to history.

Anyway, we hope that THREADS will not be Crow's last album - but if it does, it's a more than worthy farewell.

Threads review — album of duets plays to her strengths.

Culture Magazine
Sheryl invites many musicians and is open to including various genres on each track without removing the core from his own music. Free but still characteristic.
-
Country Standard Time
. . . this a fine collection of songs, most of which Crow had a hand in writing.

A well-earned musical victory lap. Freed from having to do all the heavy lifting, Crow lets her hair down and stretches out, bouncing between styles and peppering her set list . . . .

hooked on music
In the end this has become a very good album. You may have to hear some songs for yourself, but the quality is - as expected - consistently high and gives the album the opportunity to turn out some delicacies over time.

Toronto Sun
Crow’s latest album, out Friday, Aug. 30, is one of her best and includes a who’s who of guests artists and all but one — newcomer Andra Day — she has worked with over her 30-year-plus career.

Aside from the odd stinker and some poor decisions, ‘Threads’ is a good, occasionally very good, effort that works better on a song-by-song basis than over the course of a whole album. Which, somewhat ironically, makes for a fitting conclusion to her recording career.

Sheryl Crow - Threads review: Far from cohesive, but not without its gems.

Rock The Best Music
THREADS despite the weaknesses and that smell of business maintains an interest and surprising quality in a good part of its detail that at least allows to continue showing confidence in the Crow.
