    Aided by expert musicianship and spot-on production, Bentley translates his on-stage charisma to the studio better than ever before. [21 Oct 2006]

    Again showcases a great voice, band, and songwriting team. [20 Oct 2006, p.81]

    A play-it-safe consolidation move. [Nov 2006, p.78]
  5. As before, he continues to flawlessly integrate straight-ahead, unforced vocals into a riproaring sound.
  6. A little more texture in his vocal approach and songwriting could elevate him from able, level-headed craftsmanship to the realm of signature music, but in the meanwhile he has built a fresh supply of appealing tunes on a solid foundation.
  7. There’s no edge. No innovation. No energy. And precious few genuine hooks.

    WOW! This is an amazing CD. This is certainly one of the best country albums of the year, falling short only to George Strait's new one. WOW! This is an amazing CD.

I hope Dierks keeps this style up in the future, because there is no doubt that its working. Expand
