Classic Rock MagazineJan 27, 2022With Lamar Williams Jr at the mic, there's a funky drift to See The Moon and Rabbit Foot, while Stax legend William Bell claims a stellar credit with the sad and sweetly sung Never Want To Be Kissed. [Feb 2022, p.79]

Jan 27, 2022The arrangement works, right in line with a suitably restrained performance. As such, it sets a tone of novelty for the album in the best sense of that adjective.

UncutJan 27, 2022Bloodlines and geography figure into every NMAs album, but on Set Sail, Luther and Cody Dickinson make family and setting the conjoined theme. [Mar 2022, p.32]

Apr 4, 2022Set Sail is easily the band's most mature, far-reaching, affirmative statement. Making it even more indispensable is that it is as infectiously danceable as it is life affirming.

Jan 31, 2022More than two decades since their debut, North Mississippi Allstars – who currently include the Dickinson brothers along with bassist Jesse Williams and vocalists Lamar Williams Jr. and Sharisse Norman — are still creating memorable music but from a decidedly more mellow state of mind.

MojoJan 27, 2022Apart from the upbeat soul of Never Want To Be Kissed, featuring Stax veteran William bell on vocals, Set Sail stumbles and squints through its nine other tracks, although on Bumpin' they at least rouse themselves long enough to sound like Tony Joe White imitating Sly Stone.
