Paste Magazine
2018 - These songs don’t need to be messed with or tarted up or given a 21st century shine. They work perfectly in their current roughshod, if gently polished, form.
-
Sounds Like Nashville
2018 - Embodying unique storylines and heartfelt lyrics alongside superb musicianship, Girl Going Nowhere is just a taste of what’s to come from McBryde.
-
Rolling Stone
2018 - Girl Going Nowhere is heavy on hooks and set to a radio-friendly blend of heartland riffs and pop-country. But it’s also a gently left-field statement for Nashville, a stubbornly retro country-rock album that name-drops fringe figures like Townes Van Zandt instead of Merle Haggard.

All Music
she gives you plenty of reasons to return to this exceptional record again and again

Saving Country Music
2018 - You don’t have to squint to find what to like on this record, or regard it on a sliding scale since it was underwritten by a major label. And there’s something to like no matter what your personal tastes as a listener.
-
Highway Queens
an old fashioned heartland rock album which could have been released any time in the last thirty years and yet that is exactly why it appeals
-
Country Exclusive
2018 - Overall, I think this is a well-done album. It’s one of the best mainstream country albums I’ve heard in a while, probably since Maddie and Tae’s album.

Exclaim!
2018 - an album dense with meaning, with excellent, full-throated singing, tempered guitar playing, and an elusive, decorative prettiness

Your Life in a Song
2018 - a triumph. ... It has been assembled with love and with care and there is no lyric wasted or chord tossed in for the sake of it. The songs resonate with a warmth and a character that is rarely seen on a debut album ...

The Boot
2018 - Armed with a soulful powerhouse of a voice and killer songwriting skills, McBryde assembled her just-released (on March 30), major-label debut album, Girl Gone Nowhere. Produced by Jay Joyce, it will likely be one of the year's best country records.

Pulling tales from every corner of her human experience, McBryde sings with fire and fury, laughing and swigging that brown stuff along the way.

Kyles Korner
2019 - Jason Isbell once said that “I do think there’s some kinds of art that make you a better person,” and I’d argue that “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” is exactly that kind of art.

2018 - If you like your music honest, bold, emotional and with its heart on its sleeve, then there’s a lot to love here.

Belles & gals
2018 - I’ll be very surprised if this isn’t one of the most talked about albums of the year for all the right reasons

American Highways
2018 - “Girl Going Nowhere” is a summation of McBryde’s collective life experience, an American anthology and generational scrapbook.
-
Spectrum Culture
2018 - a solid set of amiable country that is neither progressive nor pastiche and instead falls just this side of inoffensive while still remaining engaging throughout
-
USA Country UK
2018 - The end result of McBryde’s debut album is one that allows her to open up to her fans and show new listeners that she is willing to lay out all her memories and allow you to see into the real person behind the voice.
-
Building Our Own Nashville
2018 - That rock-fueled fury and candor burns through every lyric, riff, and song. And it is lyrics that hit the heart and gut ...
-
Robert Christgau
2018 - Like the socko endings she's both blessed and cursed with the voice for, her attraction to this self-replicating subgenre makes me hope that the success she's earned leaves her free to do more with her rosy future than big it up.

The Digital Fix
2018 - What it comes down to is whether you like good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll; if you do then Girl Going Nowhere is for you. And if you like songwriters singing their own songs with feeling then, yep you guessed it, Girl Going Nowhere is for you.
