Critic Reviews
Show All-
BBC
The production is superb, but the lyrics lack any subtlety or sensitivity.
-
Slant Magazine
Never less than listenable, the album makes it clear that Keith needs input from outside collaborators who really get what makes his persona work.
-
Post Gazette
We get more of those honky-tonk rockers people love.
-
All Music
More time swaggering than wooing, he's back to crooning and it's amiable and appealing, if not overwhelming.
-
My Kind of Country
It’s not his best work, but has enough bright spots to make it worth checking out.
-
Billboard
Keith has always understood how to connect with his loyal fans, and he may have sensed their need for a break from the in-your-face feel of his most recent albums.

Country Universe
Can’t say I don’t find it all amusing on some strange level. There seems to have been a serious attempt to make social commentary here, and it was pretty hit-or-miss.

News OK
When it comes to songwriting, Keith can find inspiration anywhere, from his United Service Organization tours ("Ballad of Balad”) to the OU locker room ("If You’re Tryin’ You Ain’t”).
-
The Singles Jukebox
Light and fun and the twangs and harmonies are almost experimental without becoming un-beautiful.
-
Journal Star
Keith knows what his audience wants to hear and delivers it
-
Roughstock
The songs mix a menagerie of sounds into a cohesive album after cohesive album and with this renewed sense of artistry.

Country Schatter
There aren’t any I totally dislike. And there are many that I like a whole lot.
