  1. Lost Highway isn't "Bon Jovi goes country" so much as a meaningful tribute to the Nashville ethos done on their own terms.
  2. Bon Jovi are at their best when delivering the country-tinged ballads.

    This is an exciting new chapter for Bon Jovi. [23 Jun 2007]

    Lost Highway moves in on Nashville as shrewdly as "It's My Life" skimmed Stockholm seven years ago. [28 Jun 2007, p.71]

    Luckily, Bon Jovi's country-music move yields just... one irritant. [Jul 2007, p.113]
  6. Overall, as safe as Highway might be, there's no way long-time fans won't buy it.
  7. Devoid of any country heart, country soul, or country swing, if Bon Jovi had started out a country band and decided to play mainstream rock, this is what it would sound like.

    I was a little apprehensive - love Bon Jovi for making me rock - don't care much for country - but LOVE this album! I put it in my car I was a little apprehensive - love Bon Jovi for making me rock - don't care much for country - but LOVE this album! I put it in my car when it came out in June and haven't stopped listening to it yet. It's the first album in years that I liked instantly beginning with the the title track and all the way through to Love This Town. Sure hope they play Boston on this tour. Expand

    If 80's Bon Jovi time traveled to 2007, they would kick new Bon Jovi's ass. That's all I can really say.
