Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
It’s an essential record in the history of home recording, but it was sort of a cul-de-sac for Springsteen himself.
-
Rolling Stone
If this record is as deep and unsettling as anything Springsteen has recorded, it is also his narrowest and most single-minded work.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
Nebraska remains one of the best folk albums of the past 30 years.
-
All Music
one of the most challenging albums ever released by a major star on a major record label

Classic Rock Review
the finished product found the right balance of raw legitimacy and sonic competency that would ultimately become one of Springsteen’s highest regarded efforts
-
Punk News
Nebraska constantly shifts its shape, lending already amazing songs like "Atlantic City" and "Johnny 99" an extra enticing quality.

Clash Music
Springsteen’s brilliant vision of a bruised, battered and broken America
-
Austin Chronicle
Nebraska is a beautiful anomaly, a willful turn from '80's The River, which cemented Springsteen as a household name, and a passionate last grasp at Guthrie-style folk before the musical monolith that would be '84's Born in the USA

The Boss, Bruce Springsteen in my opinion at his best.

AV Music
Though Springsteen's songs lend themselves easily to new interpretations, covering the album as a whole only serves as a reminder of how well the original worked, and how well it hung together as a piece.
-
Extra Geographic
Nebraska is raw, primitive, ancient, other worldly, spiritual, nihilistic, heartbreaking and horrifying. And it was made, don’t forget, by someone who was regarded as a rock’n’roll messiah.
-
Clems Music Reviews
While strange at first, his audiences soon revered this as a one of a kind classic.
