    This is one of the best albums in the Alan Jackson series. I still can't get some of the song out of my head.

    Not a bad song on this CD. Easily has 6-7 singles that could hit #1. The title song, already a huge hit, isn't even the best song on the CD. "My Best Friend" and "Drugs or Jesus" showcase McGraws best vocals ever. And "Back When", though maybe difficult to get on the radio, is pure country and the best song about longing for past times that has come out in recent years.

    Could be the best album he's ever made. [Dec 2004, p.146]

    Reaffirms his position as one of the genre's most believable balladeers. [17 Sep 2004, p.78]
  3. As a whole, the album stands as a benediction to an artist whose integrity and success has prevailed in the face of endless trends and fads that have swept away many lesser talents.
