December 13, 2012. The Detroit native proves that great songwriting and enjoyable musical presentation transcends genres. While the style is entirely country, the subject matter fits Detroit as well as it fits Nashville. It does not feel forced or fake for the singer.

The Boston Globe
December 18, 2012. Uncle Kracker, Kid Rock’s good buddy, occasional songwriting partner, and former DJ, slides fully and comfortably into the pop-country world with the easy breezy “Midnight Special.”

AllMusic
November 20, 2012. All the songs are amiable enough, some even catch in the consciousness, but Midnight Special isn't an album that commands attention. It's designed to drift along in the background, providing good times during blue skies and Saturday nights.

Hitting All The Right Notes
January 28, 2013. He merges upbeat feel good songs such as You Got That Thang alongside slower songs such as When I Close My Eyes throughout the album, keeping the interest high. Midnight Special is definitely an album to check out in my opinion and would make a good addition to any music fan's collection.
