Critic Reviews
Show All-
Country Standard Time
Young probably has done what one is supposed to do these days with a debut - attract some airplay, playing it ultra safe by not taking chances and hopefully build a career. Not projections on the future, but for Young, anyway, two out of three ain't bad.

Allmusic
Brett Young doesn't take many chances on his eponymous debut album.
-
Taste of Country
Brett Young's debut album is filled with songs of love and love lost. The pop-friendly collection of musings from the California native's heart and songbook is at its best when he leans into these highs and lows.
-
Sounds Like Nashville
Fresh off debut No. 1 single, “Sleep Without You,” country newcomer Brett Young pulls on the heartstrings in the release of his self-titled freshman album.
-
Rolling Stone
Young, who cites Gavin DeGraw as one of his chief influences, co-wrote 11 of the 12 songs on his new album, including “Sleep Without You” and the new single “In Case You Didn’t Know.” The latter is Valentine’s Day appropriate, despite never including the words “I love you” in its lyrics.
-
Rough Stock
Each of the 12 songs here showcase Brett Young as a potential superstar and perhaps no song does that better than the Adele-like "Mercy," an emotive relationship ballad. It's a hell of an exclamation point on a well-crafted debut album project.
-
Nashville Country Club
With the raw and twangy lyrics in “Like I Loved You” to the upbeat, snapping drums and pop guitar riffs in “Beautiful Believer,” there is something for anyone who wants a genuine but fun music experience.
-
New England Country Music
The album has a mix of country pop, a little R&B and a touch of style of the artist Gavin DeGraw. With girls swooning over his looks and voice already, they will surely fall in love with him even more after this amazing album of back and forth love songs, heartbreaks, mending yourself after breakups, and trying your hardest.
-
Digital Journal
Young's voice is as smooth as silk, and this CD is extremely diverse, where no two songs have the same identities. His song "Back On The Wagon" is worth the price of the album alone. Young's new collection garners an A rating.
-
Wide Open Country
Young is the Romeo on his 12-track album, which focuses primarily on romantic relationships. He’s the gentleman in all of the tracks — even if he’s the heartbroken guy that realizes his ex never loved him like he did. It’s a perspective we seldom see from male country singers these days, especially on Top 40 radio.

Take some advice from Brett Young on love. He knows exactly what he’s talking about.

The Country Source
Some artists are great singers, some are great songwriters, and some completely own it all. Brett is one of those artists, from his unique smokey voice, to his wonderful storytelling in his songwriting, to his sing along hits like “Sleep Without You” there is no doubt the only place Brett is going is straight up the country music charts.
-
Red and Black
His smooth vocals and thoughtful lyrics help the record stand apart in a genre increasingly saturated with forgettable bro-country tunes.
-
The Shotgun Seat
California native’s internal monologue is, it seems, inherently romantic and respectful. It’s a theme that leads both the chart-topping single and drives the tone of the album.

Country Music Rocks
Young introduces his debut project with No.1 single “Sleep Without You,” and the momentum continues throughout the album in its entirety. Covering all aspects of love, Young delivers a collection of quality music that is fresh and relatable.
