Jun 27, 2012I was waiting for something new and different from John but this is just like the rest of his lukewarm albums. Nothing special and nothing to offer lyrically. Its not all bad its just nothing special.

Jun 29, 2012The album is a nice stop in action some will criticize the album for being a low but to me this album comes out to be a soul shaker and it gets me through my tough times especially the song 'Born And Raised' his best song till date :)

UncutJun 1, 2012The Don Was-produced album proceeds at an unhurried pace, featuring Jackson Browne-like confessionals and Young-style, harmonica-accented shuffles. [Jul 2012, p.77]

May 31, 2012Born and Raised a prime example of the John Mayer paradox--it's good enough to satisfy even his most casual fans, but the old-school Mayerisms that remain will only anger his detractors.

May 24, 2012It's an honest, and oftentimes compelling, statement on his road to redemption.
