AllMusic
Montgomery Gentry should be nothing less than amazing in a few years if they keep this up, because this is solid, ass-kickin' country-rock. This is one of the best pop records of the year. Period.

Country Standard Time
Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry possess enough musical chops on their debut, but not enough personality. Actually that's what is missing - a distinctiveness that crystallizes what the duo is about. Not a bad debut, but the pair needs to forge their own musical identity.

Nashville Reviews
Montogomery Gentry's first album, as is often the case in all genres of music, is the best one they have released. . . . Every song on this album can still make me smile, and sing along, ten years after I first heard it

Apple Music
Montgomery Gentry’s sound was fully formed from the start. Tattoos & Scars, the duo’s debut album, adds the muscle of a rock band to the down-home storytelling of country music.

EW
This Kentucky duo, made up of Eddie Montgomery (John Michael’s brother) and Troy Gentry, play what they call “pure whupass country,” a testosterone-laden brand of hooky, hardcore fare spiced with heavy Southern rock.

. . . Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry are a first-rate country duo with the rough-and-tumble energy of Brooks & Dunn and sweet, two-part harmony that often recalls the Everly Brothers. Bottom Line: Smooth debut
