  1. 8.0 |   Blender

    As fierce as any past Bastards recording, just more honed and hellbound.

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    This is top-shelf rock and roll, sweetened by moaning steel guitar, and it’s a nice point of reference for the album as a whole, because it takes what we might know about the band’s three-piece sound and augments it with instrumental flourish.

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    From the soaring pedal steel on the opening title track, it’s a deliberate step away from garage to a more country tone

  4. 8.0 |   Spin

    Gentler and more eclectic than the Bastards' earlier releases, is also Wennerstrom's most glorious, a collection of salty, rousing rock'n'roll that'll leave you aching for a roadhouse, a sticky bar stool, and a chipped glass of bourbon

  5. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    A muffled guitar introduces the simple minor-key progression, but then the whole band kicks in, stretching the sound from pan-and-scan to widescreen, while a soaring electric slide guitar adds to the song's understated majesty.
