Country Music News
A great album, that I assume will do great things on the charts! If you haven’t got it yet I suggest you do!
-
Lone Star Music
He represents all the truest forms of a genre increasingly going the way of poodle metal, bloated AC and glossed pop with steel guitar as camo.

Roughstock
Strait also has a way of making it all look so easy. It’s like a baseball batter that can hit a curve ball or a 100 mph fastball

WYRK
This album is genius when you break it down song by song and when you look at it as a project as a whole! Simply amazing.
-
LA Times
The material is classic Strait-style lite country, his eminently easygoing tenor effortlessly handling songs

One of the most interesting recordings you’ll hear all year.

He lets us in so to speak and we see his soul.

All in the service of the thing he’s always been best at—making a heavyweight song hit home. 3.5/5

Country Standard Time
Essentially filler free and should put an end to any doubts that Strait is just phoning it in.

Atlanta Music Guide
Superb. King George proves once again why he has more number one hits than any artist in any genre in music history.

Strait couldn't have sung all those classics over the years without picking up some lessons.
