Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Over ten songs, Simpson leads his tight-knit rock quartet through a super-charged flow of indignant Southern Rock, strutting disco-boogie, and pulsing modern blues that do away with the typical melodic, structural conventions of country and folk." Rolling Stone - Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2019" -- "Simpson, who started out with a bluegrass band, couldn't sound farther from his roots." Billboard - "[A] dark concept record that doubles as a country crossover, hard-charging with blues-driven psychedelia and disorienting pedal effects that wail like a screaming V2 engine on an in-bound scud missile." Paste (magazine) - "[A] brute strength record, full of needle-in-the-red guitars and vocals pushed to the edge of distortion, and sometimes past it."
