  1. The A.V. Club
    91
    Not unlike Bob Dylan's Time Out Of Mind, this is an album by a grizzled veteran of rock's rougher roads who proves in his late career that he still has great work in him. Perhaps even better, Erickson sounds remarkably confident and optimistic; for all the tumult of his life, he's happy to be living it.
  2. New Musical Express (NME)
    90
    A stunning LP that, in a just world, would do for Roky what the "American Recordings" series did for Johnny Cash.
  3. The Guardian
    60
    The result of his collaboration with his fellow Texans is an album that stands up in a way his last effort, 1995's All That May Do My Rhyme, really didn't....But there are problems, too. The songs here were selected by Okkervil's Will Sheff, and the arrangements are clearly his band's rather than Erickson's.
