Entertainment Focus
‘Famous Friends’ is a better record than ‘Losing Sleep’ was and it’s nice to hear Young pushing himself in places. It’s a surprisingly cohesive collection that showcases the many different sides of his abilities while packing in plenty of radio-friendly melodies to keep those number one hits coming. As we come out of the pandemic, it’s the kind of record that’s going to provide comfort for fans and right now, what more could you ask for?

Country Swag
It's safe to say he’ll have no problem with those goals for Famous Friends, as there are definitely songs to dance to, cry to, fall in love to, and maybe most importantly, fall in love with.

The Country Note
With the collaborations on this album, creative song writing, excellent production, and thoughtful placement of tracks, Famous Friends is a solid album from first song to last. With Young’s vocals sounding better than ever, this is the album to download and don’t be surprised if it claims the number one slot.

The Nash News
Famous Friends features a song for every country listener, the songs to blast at a tailgate, the songs to quietly reflect on on a long drive, or the songs to feel that familiar nostalgia of missing your hometown. Young’s undeniable signature delivery continues to prove that he can remain fresh and relevant while staying true to his country sound.

Very compact and well-composed modern country album.

AllMusic
The alterations are enough to give Famous Friends a discernible pulse, something that was lacking on Losing Sleep, which is more than enough to make Chris Young seem younger than he has in years.
