Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
Springsteen examines his life as a family man, negotiates a truce with his demons and achieves a hard-won sense of fulfillment
-
Billboard
It’s a straight-up rock record whose biggest drawback is the lack of musical imagination.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
Lucky Town succeeded in every place Human Touch failed.
-
The Daily Beast
a well-polished collection of songs about love and all its messy but beautiful complications
-
Stereogum
easily at the bottom end of his catalogue, but it's better than I had given it credit for, perhaps due to the fact that it's inextricably linked to Human Touch through their shared release date
-
All Music
Here was the rage and the humor, the sense of compassion, the loyalty and commitment that had been the stuff of Springsteen's best music from the beginning.
-
Countdown Kid
Though the highs weren’t as high as some of his past works, you might be surprised to look back and discover the consistency and solidity of this album.

NY Times
In the end, "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town" offer the twanging, stomping, pensive, troubled, well-crafted sound of retreat.
-
Entertainment Weekly
Strained and verbose, both Lucky Town and Human Touch are his most confused albums since his 1973 debut.
-
Clems Music Reviews
a little easier to enjoy because it doesn't seem quite as bogged down with "too much" music
-
The Fat Angel Sings
Lucky Town succeeded in every place Human Touch had failed.

Adrian's Album Review
'Lucky Town' is concise, contains more band recordings than 'Human Touch', makes more sense and is rather more consistent.
