    On his third solo album, the thematic focus is intense enough to ignite kindling.
  2. Billboard
    80
    On this fine self-titled set (produced, as was the most recent 97's album, by Dallas-based Salim Nourallah) Miller works his familiar mixture of '60s-pop jangle and alt-country twang, singing about the highs and lows of love like someone who just experienced them for the first time.
  3. Rolling Stone
    80
    Per usual for his solo work, he's made his strongest set yet.
  4. Alternative Press
    60
    The signature '97's twang takes a backseat to finely tuned pop songs. The downside? It falls short of going anywhere new musically. [Jul 2009, p.130]

    This is my first taste of Rhett as a solo artist. I amazed at the melodies and lyrics. Its been on repeat for 2 days straight.
