Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's produced by Dave Cobb, and it's very good, frequently brilliant, with all the qualities that define Prine's music." Spin - "It has a certain plaintiveness befitting a late-period statement in a legendary artist's career....The album's slightly roughshod quality channels the creative process behind it." Uncut - "Prine's lyrics, delivered in a moving, desolate croak, are the treat here..." Paste (magazine) - "[H]e doesn't miss a beat, doling out material that highlight every facet of his still-underrated talent." Pitchfork (Website) - "The songwriter's first album of new music in 13 years is wise and economical. At 71, John Prine is a virtuoso at understatement, finding the joy in the mundane, and writing about what it means to be alive."
