    An unequivocally remarkable new album.
  3. Uncut
    80
    As a mature statement by someone who's done it all, but still retains a desire to create something new and fresh, Mighty Rearranger is a record of considerable depth, admirable adventure and surprising passion. [May 2005, p.110]

    It is only when he tries to really rock-out that goldilocks falters a little.
  6. AllMusic
    80
    Mighty Rearranger is a literate, ambitious, and sublimely vulgar exercise in how to make a mature yet utterly unfettered rock & roll album that takes chances, not prisoners, and apologizes for nothing.
  7. PopMatters
    80
    Zep lovers and Plant skeptics, Mighty Rearranger is your '70s flashback nirvana.

    The strangest sensation? It's actually all pretty good.
  9. Rolling Stone

    More than any time since 1994's No Quarter with Jimmy Page, Plant's inner black dog is howling again.
  10. Billboard
    70
    "Mighty Rearranger" isn't great, but it's awfully good, and if Plant's voice has faded slightly in power over the years, it's still remarkably strong.

    Effortlessly surges into the stratosphere of his better work--when not slipping into new age-y monotony. [Jun 2005, p.113]

But does Robert put out any bad albums?! They range from very good to great. Led who!? No, but seriously his newish band is outstanding. Can only play the Zep catalogue so many times! His solo work is brilliant and this album in particular is a standout for me. Robert Plant consistently delivers quality, thoughtful, moving music. His life's journey, his intellectualising of it and musical experience contribute to ever more interesting songs. Really thankful for his music contributions and all of it has a place in my music library.… Full Review »
