    The album stands as a tribute not only to Campbell's timeless talent but also to the songwriters and producers Raymond & Willing. Great stuff.

    A great return to form. Just wish it wasn't quite so commercial/radio ready. A few more darker/moving moments would've been nice.

    Glen Campbell's voice is an indelible part of the soundtrack of my youth. And this album captures that essence once again and evoked emotions in me that left me absolutely blown away. Somehow he manages to turn these songs into his own. Great orchestrations, great songwriting, and great vocal interpretation make for an album that brings back memories. It's as though I was listening to a Glen Campbell album from thirty years ago. I'm so glad they chose NOT to reinvent something campy and inauthentic, but rather tried for a sound that is familiar and new at the same time.… Expand

    I really like this CD. I listened to Glen Campbell in the back seat of my Dad's Oldsmoblile back in the day. This CD really hit some olld chords in my soul. My Dad's birthday was one week after the release of this CD. I really enjoyed sharing this CD with him.

    There are more examples of cover albums gone wrong than gone right. Thankfully Glen Campbell's new set, which finds him ably putting his own twist on tunes from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Foo Fighters, U2, Green Day and John Lennon, among others, fits into the latter category.

    Julian Raymond's production gives the good-timey guitar-and-bajo sound a sharp kick in the butt. [Sep 2008, p.78]

    The arrangemnts are smartly constructed, Campbell's guitar is economical and crisp, and his interpretibve skills and singing are as sharp as during his commercial peak. [Sep 2008, p.112]
