Entertainment WeeklyMellencamp sounds like he's just hitting his stride. [19 Oct 2001, p.82]
-
Mellencamp's crackling, gorgeous Heartland pop resonates more now than ever--even if, at times, he sounds like he's ripping off his best guitar moves.
-
It finds Mellencamp at a kind of peak, turning out vividly socially conscious roots rock that works not because of the message, but because the music is seductive and sinewy enough to deliver the message.

BlenderThe songs on Cuttin' Heads are his strongest since 1993's Human Wheels. [#4, p.120]
-
Arguably Mellencamp's best album since 1987's The Lonesome Jubilee and 1983's Uh-Huh.
