Paste MagazineGood songs make for good Cowboy Junkies albums, and the ratio here tilts in their favor. [May 2007, p.60]
-
There are moments of light and hope on At the End of Paths Taken, but overall it is a deliriously dark and brooding album.
-
What At the End of Paths Taken means for the Cowboy Junkies: it's like a renaissance.
-
UncutThese 11 new songs will do little to dispel the view that the band are fatally addicted to self-indulgent navel-gazing, but it's still beautifully recorded, and played with exquisite tact and precision. [May 2007, p.88]
-
The unexpected bit is that there are a couple of tracks where the Junkies appear to be making a move from their brooding ballad comfort zone toward brooding bluesy shuffles that very nearly get funky.

Q MagazineWhile elegantly arranged and rendered with passion, this is unlikely to convert those deaf to formulaic Americana. [Apr 2007, p.117]
-
On Paths Taken, the Junkies sound like a band battling obsolescence and trying entirely too hard to make an impression as an inventive and therefore relevant band.
