    It's a formula sure to satisfy any fan--even Bruce.

    There's nothing wild or organic about this overly calculated debut.

    It’d be nice to see Luke, the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year, grow out of the fields he’s so clearly comfortable in. But for now, if the soil is still bearing fruit, you can’t blame him for continuing to plow ahead.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Much of the rest of the album features ho-hum mid-tempos and ballads that don’t move the meter much in either direction.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Overall, a solid debut from a young, still-maturing artist.
