    As a slice of rootsy blues, it works nicely.
  2. Billboard
    80
    Reptile shows the guitar legend continuing to explore classic blues-derived sounds with palpable sincerity and conviction.
  3. Wall of Sound

    A smooth and engaging affair, with consistently strong singing and playing from Clapton.

    It's that sense of doing just enough but no more that permeates this album, at times rendering it laid back to the point of disengaged.

    A bit slick, but that's Clapton since 30 years. Makes me want to play guitar myself again, which should be a plus!
