Critic Reviews
Show All-
RollingStone
McCartney is one legend with a penchant for breeziness, and many of his lesser solo discs traffic in mere pleasantness. This album isn’t one of those.
-
BBC
The fact is that he sounds so, well, jolly contented, and perhaps a bit of lonely yearning would have made the material a little more challenging and rewarding.
-
DROWNED IN SOUND
A fine album then, spoiled by crap songs.
-
ALL MUSIC
Driving Rain may not be as coherent as Pie, nor as relentless as Devil, but it's rich, layered, ambitious, and successful.
-
NME
Given that this is the work of a man in love again, that can be endearing.
-
The Music Box
Driving Rain is a gem that proves that he still has an awful lot left to say.
-
INDEPENDENT
Macca's openness is touching, but the sometimes slack nature of the material is too often matched by settings that struggle to justify the term "arrangement".
-
Don Ignacio
Indeed, while this might be a very good album, the biggest flaw is easily that McCartney seems rather disconnected with this work.
-
entertainment.ie
Driving Rain is easily his best collection of songs in over a decade.
-
Adrian Denning
Paul records his first full-length set of new songs post Linda's death with a bunch of LA session musicians and records the album in speedy, loose fashion.
