  3. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    A soul-drenched renaissance. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Mojo

    One of her most wide-ranging and satisfying collections. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Williams has assembled many guest musicians this time around, but despite all the disparate talent, the album is a tight, coherent work that never devolves into self-indulgent jamming, even at an epic 103 minutes

  9. 8.0 |   Q

    Dirty Realist roots-rock has a queen, and it's Louisiana's Lucinda Williams. Print edition only

  10. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    There's a new emphasis on fire and brimstone, gospel rock'n'roll on songs like "Protection," "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "Everything But The Truth"

  11. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    This album stands with Williams’ strongest work and represents that rare thing in American popular music and its culture of celebrity: a performer who is comfortable in her own skin, even if it isn’t, and hasn’t been for some time, the skin of a teenager.
