The simpler style allows the tense commentary to come through loud and clear, as the band keeps up.

Bursts with old-time voodoo bluster.

This sounds like a brand-new, re-energized John Mellencamp.

Mellencamp's rawest album to date.

Rolling Stone
This album doesn't sound that distant from the grass-roots rock of Mellencamp albums such as Scarecrow and The Lonesome Jubilee.

His most intimate recording yet. [#17, p.138]

All Music Guide
What gives it some distinction is that there's a freshness to the music, largely dervied from its quick recording, a quality that has been lacking in his records for many years now, arguably since Big Daddy.

PopMatters
Trouble No More is good but it's never really all that exciting.

Uncut
If you really want to hear folk-blues played with rock'n'roll attitude then go back to Boomer's Story or Into The Purple Valley. [Oct 2003, p.111]
