Sounds Like Nashville
A versatile release, Aldean’s Rearview Town highlights the Georgia native’s strength when it comes to arena-ready rockers heard in the live setting. Throughout the 15 tracks, the singer also demonstrates his ability to blend multiple genres all while putting his distinct stamp on every song.

Paste Magazine
Aldean’s sprawling new album Rearview Town is his first major effort to turn the page. It was mostly completed before last Oct. 1, and its tracklist doesn’t include a song about the shooting. It is very much another Jason Aldean album, just like the past seven Jason Aldean albums.

Newsday
While the bulk of “Rearview Town” sits in Aldean’s sweet spot of midtempo country rockers — including the driving “Set It Off” and “I’ll Wait for You,” with its roaring guitars and soaring solos — some moments shine brighter than the rest.

Country Exclusive
On the substantive side of this record, we have several standouts. That’s another consistent thing about aldean; when he’s good, he’s pretty great.
-
Saving Country Music
So here we go again. Another new Jason Aldean album, and another machine gunning of blistering arena rock guitars, braggadocios rural boy aphorisms, self-aggrandizing affirmations of what a badass he is, with very little substance or sincerity delivered between the lines to find enriching.

Plugged In
A handful of nice moments on Rearview Town nonetheless get drowned out by the river of booze that Aldean once again canoes down here, a river that often meanders into other damaging decisions as well.

All Music
Along with that reflective "Better at Being Who I Am," he lays into the classic soul trappings of "You Make It Easy" without a hitch, suggesting that Rearview Town may one day be seen as something more than another reliable Aldean album. Instead, it could wind up being the first chapter of his second act.

Cryptic Rock
It is a wild ride that fans will embrace with open arms and raised shot-glasses!

UPROXX
-the record is full of the same swaggering, emotion-driven country rock that earned him a spot as one of the top live performers in the current country landscape.

The Reviews Are In
- the 41-year old Georgia native shows the same blend of rock and country that has made him a star over the last 13 years and earned him nine #1 US Hot Country singles.

Rough Stock
Rearview Town features enough Aldean-y songs to keep his fanbase satisfied. Better still, there are a goodly number of memorable exceptions to his stylistic predictability that may just bring a few new admirers into the fold.

Building Our Own Nashville
He consistently gives fantastic value for money and Rearview Town is no different being packed full of banging Country Rock tracks.
-
Six Shooter Country
The record kicks off in typical ballsy, guitar riff-driven Aldean style. Dirt To Dust almost feels like a concert opener and it’s certainly the type of song that Aldean has been known for producing over the years.
-
Sputnik Music
Jason Aldean copies and pastes past ideas while also trying to take his sound to new heights, failing miserably at both.
-
Your Life In A Song
Love him or hate him, nobody can deny that Jason Aldean is one of the most consistent artists in country music. We very rarely hear anything ‘experimental’ and off-piste; you know exactly what you’re going to get when a new Aldean album rolls around.
-
Critically Country
This is Jason Aldean’s best album in a long time despite two thirds of it being dreadful, overproduced garbage.
-
B98.5FM
FINALLY! Jason Aldean has returned with his specific blend of rock and country and he has proven yet again that he deserves to be at the top of the country music world.
-
Roots Magazine
Composed and released amid a period of professional and personal turmoil, the album truly reflects all that Aldean has endured in the past few years. From the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas to the birth of his son, the songwriting reflects these highs and lows.
