    Women & Work finds the Memphis band at complete ease with their mix of '70s outlaw country and plenty of punk rock attitude and swagger, making it easily the most consistently solid release in their already enviable cannon of music.

    Women & Work strikes a party-hearty country-soul vein. [Feb 2013, p.103]

    Women & Work is the sound of a mature, confident band, fully embracing their hometown's musical legacy, and wrapping it inside their own sound, making each both larger and deeper.

    The songs of whiskey drinking, pretty girls and heartbreak are certainly Lucero's bread and butter, but stacked up against their back catalog, Women & Work plays it just a little too safe.

    As in real life, the party songs are more fun than the hangover.

    Women & Work has more of bar-band feel-granted, a really good bar band, but something generic is creeping into Lucero's sound.

    Chocked with perspectives, inexpensive times and homegrown storytelling, Women & Work is the perfect album for when you're on your way to a family reunion and hoping your country family will be appreciative of your taste in music.
