    Peck's gorgeously expressive and powerful voice, which is [often within a single song] every bit as capable of carrying softer moments with a gentle croon as shooting showstoppers into the stratosphere with a mighty bellow, is wisely granted center stage by the singer over the largely complementary [but still excellent] instrumentals on "Bronco" and proves the perfect vehicle for tellingPeck's gorgeously expressive and powerful voice, which is [often within a single song] every bit as capable of carrying softer moments with a gentle croon as shooting showstoppers into the stratosphere with a mighty bellow, is wisely granted center stage by the singer over the largely complementary [but still excellent] instrumentals on "Bronco" and proves the perfect vehicle for telling LGBTQ+ stories of love, loss, and loneliness with both fiery passion and devastating tenderness.

    Amazing, Orville Peck just gets better and better. Fantastic voice, wonderful interpretation of the country genre old and new. Cannot get enough!

    At 15 songs, Bronco is dense. It’s also incredibly addictive. At every turn on Bronco, Peck’s megawatt voice soars. His extensive range glides easily from bass to falsetto, and there isn’t a moment his voice, phrasing, and incredible gift for melody doesn’t captivate.

    There’s so much talent and story hidden behind the mask, but this album isn’t Orville Peck at his truest.

    His music more than stands on its own in its brilliancy and, again, the fact that it is supplemented by clearly thought out performance aspects should not mean that it is viewed as anything less than genuine.
