Sounds Like Nashville
A standout release, Eli Young Band's Fingerprints will no doubt have longtime fans satisfied upon first listen.

AllMusic
While the Eli Young Band don't eschew melody on Fingerprints by any means, they do kick up the Red Dirt country that they stomped down last time around. This means that the record is proud of its swagger, something that's evident from the strutting title track and the propulsive "Once," but the group strengthens its slower numbers by emphasizing a delicate touch instead of sticky sentiment.

Country Exclusive
. . . overall, I think the Eli Young Band went in completely the right direction with this, and it’s probably that benefit of the doubt that makes this a 6 rather than a 5 because honestly, of these eleven tracks, I enjoy five of them and could do without six.

The Young Folks
The overall theme of Fingerprints is vulnerability. Every song has a deepness that reaches a place of universal pain, love, and worship.

Nashville Country Club
It’s no secret that the Eli Young Band knows who they are as musicians, but they further prove that throughout the entirety of “Fingerprints.” Listeners will be eagerly putting this album on repeat.

Your Life In A Song
It’s an accomplished, mature, fun and classy piece of work. There are no tractors, tailgates or tan legs anywhere to be found on ‘Fingerprints’. Instead, what you have are two songwriters and a band at the height of their powers.

With a handful of personal songs on the record, the group really defines the title ‘Fingerprints.’ The group sounds fresh and rejuvenated in this 11 song album.

At times, one might wish Eli Young Band’s artistic ‘fingerprint’ was just a little more distinctive. But when the group hits the right emotional bull’s eye, as it often does with this latest release, it’s awfully difficult to find fault.

Country Standard Time
Though clearly not as blatantly pop as the downright danceable EP, "Fingerprints" is still glossy, slightly tepid and laden with catchy choruses and pleasing melodies.

MegaCountry
With members of the band co-writing eight out of the eleven songs, the personal touch is felt throughout the entire LP. It's a strong offering from the band and fans will love the heartfelt ballads as well as the upbeat and mid tempo jams . . . .
