Feb 6, 201383You’ll want to hit the road and play this one over and over.

Feb 5, 201380While there is a handful of tracks that will pass airplay muster--the inane but catchy “Truck Yeah,” the breezy Swift and Keith Urban-assisted “Highway Don’t Care”--it’s more interesting when McGraw goes either a little sideways or steps back into contemplative mode.

Feb 8, 201375Once he's tipped his Stetson to frat-rock America, this is a deeply traditional country album--and a touch one, too. [15 Feb 2013, p.66]

Feb 5, 201370“Truck Yeah” is a rare moment of goofy self-referentiality on the otherwise straightforward Two Lanes Of Freedom.
-
Feb 5, 201370"Annie I Owe You a Dance" has too many strings, and the poignant, "37405," a narrative about a country singer turned convict, could have been leaner. But these are small complaints on a solid and ambitious recording. On Two Lanes of Freedom, McGraw proves he is indeed the artist that Curb never let him be.
-
Feb 13, 201360McGraw seems determined to reel in young folks. But as usual, he fares better as a relaxed 40-something.
-
Feb 27, 201350Overall, Two Lanes of Freedom is uneven but likeable, just like most Tim McGraw records.
-
Feb 5, 201350Two Lanes is an album that’s all compromise and almost no courage, a coloring book that hasn’t been filled in. He is a star resting on what look like laurels but are actually fallacies.
-
Feb 5, 201350The album should keep him atop the country commercial firmament, but doesn't really advance him as an artist.
