  1. 8.5 |   The AU Review

    Anyone with even a passing appreciation of country music, rock n roll, and just damn good song-writing will find a lot of enjoyment from this album

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This album shows us that if Hollywood stops knocking on his door then Bridges will certainly find Nashville filling the vacuum nicely

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A surprisingly heartfelt piece of work, packed with enough hooks and harmonies to show he’s obviously a keen student of the greats

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    As always, he turns out to be a natural. Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    A curiosity as much as a genuine country rock record, the album is another bright spot in Bridges’ renaissance period
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   Paste Magazine

    Jeff Bridges’ new album won’t hook you with a hit or a sing-along single, because it doesn’t move that way. It sits and takes in the moment

  7. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    What he needs to do is clear: More Jeff Bridges, less Bad Blake

  8. 6.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Bridges's personal, heartfelt deliveries of the songs here are what make the album worthwhile

  9. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    An earthy singer as affable as his film characters
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Songs that radiate a weary gravitas and wry existentialism. Print edition only

  11. 5.5 |   Prefix

    The music takes a distant second-place to the image of a grizzled Jeff Bridges sitting in a studio amongst bewildered musicians

  12. 5.0 |   A.V. Club

    As an actor playing a singer, Bridges is first-rate; but as a singer trying to sell a song, Bridges has limited expressiveness

  13. 5.0 |   Spin

    As comfortable and unpretentious as the Dude's bathrobe
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s the guy’s first album, and with Burnett’s assistance, it sure sounds purty. But does it stand up against the Hank Williams or Steve Earles of the world? In a word, no
