Critic Reviews
Show All-
Saving Country Music
All the best to Lauren Alaina, and good for her for being able to stick her nose past the country radio female embargo, and for releasing a song and album that attempts to say something. But these type of songs aren’t the leadership in the mainstream we see from Kacey Musgraves, Natalie Hemby, Brandy Clark, or Lori McKenna.

Sounds Like Nashville
The album is proof of the maturing the Georgia-native has gone through and results in a genuine piece of art.
-
Country Exclusive
But she’s the kind of artist, and this is exactly the sort of record, that we need to be successful in 2017. This album has something to say, and it speaks to that ever narrow demographic so desperately courted by country’s mainstream in a way that’s both real and understanding.
-
The Young Folks
Overall, Road Less Traveled is a mixed bag of an album. The tight production does nothing to hide the fact that songwise, the album is very uneven. When it’s good, it’s ridiculously good but the majority of the songs are middle of the road to outright bad.

NashvilleGab
for what it’s worth, the three years was time well spent, as Road Less Traveled is undoubtedly going to be the catalyst for three more years of success, memories, and big career moments for Alaina.

Music According to Kim
It seems like the country music world is starting to realize what a gem they have with this girl. I think her career is going to be a fun one to watch. And if this album is any indication, she's just going to keep getting better and better.

Entertainment Focus
I have a feeling this album will help a lot of young girls. Lauren is a true inspiration paving her own way in a tough male-dominated industry.

The Young Folks
Road Less Traveled sounds slick and sounds absolutely amazing, even if the lyrics falter at points.

The talented vocalist showcases growth as an artist and songwriter on this, her sophomore album.

Your Life In A Song
Lauren Alaina has gained another fan here; it’s a seriously impressive collection from a very promising talent. Whether she’ll stay country in future is the big question, but there’s enough on this album to keep everybody happy and I think it’ll surprise a few this year.
