Nov 21, 2018This is a great collection for fans of White's work and definitely more or an anthology rather than a best of. The acoustic (ish) element really showcases the "to the point" side of his songwriting talent. It's a comprehensive yet engaging listen from a true giant of rock n roll.

Oct 4, 2016Music never tasted so good, music never tasted so good, music never tasted so good to me... what an album. A compilation of great songs, in their simplest version. Impossible not to love. In-temporal Sounds and lyrics from the guts of a genius.

Sep 9, 2016This collection of Acoustic and Alternate versions of Jack White's songs spanning across his entire career proves that He is a master at doing what He does. Not one song feels out of place or unfinished. Any fan of Jack White should definitely check out this compilation. It is wonderful.

Q MagazineSep 26, 2016The folky reworking off The Raconteurs' Caroline Drama is an improvement on the original and the stark version of Love Is The Truth, originally written for a coke ad, outweighs the bombast of the released version. [Nov 2016, p.117]

Sep 26, 2016For now, as a clue, we have this album of nuances, a revue of a career, where the delight is consistently in the details, some of them random, and others masterfully intentional.

Sep 26, 2016Acoustic Recordings is a selective, rather than exhaustive, portrait of White as an artist, but for a guy who’s spent most of the 18 years this compilation spans dogmatically adhering to self-imposed restrictions, there’s a remarkable amount of diversity here--and not a clunker to be found.
