    Atlanta Millionaires Club is a masterpiece of claustrophobic intimacy that brings compelling immediacy to a time-tested story.

    Atlanta Millionaires Club radiates a warm Muscle Shoals glow. ... Yet there's the unmistakable shape of '90s R&B and gloopy modern-day hip-hop moving beneath the more classicist surface. [Summer 2019, p.116]

    Webster’s evolution from her self-titled record is a delight to witness. The songs are more direct and lyrically she’s become a remarkable observer of the little things that make us tick.

    She never meanders when storytelling, opting instead for a couple of spare verses with tight turns of phrase punctuated with humor and gravitas. Webster’s forte is silken expressions of lonesome introversion, and she does it with a radiating confidence that compels rapt attention.

    Atlanta Millionaires Club nails the perfect balance of the singer-songwriter’s sleepy, intimate balladry with the rich musical history of her home city.

    That line between dream life and reality, between our own internal thoughts and our muted and awkward external manifestations of them, seems essential to the brilliant trick of Faye Webster's music and this impeccable, contradictory pop album.

    She delves into her emotions and wears them on her jersey, and though at times this vulnerability and malaise feels tiresome, it’s her self-exploration that makes it worthwhile.

    An odd but beautiful and often remarkable album, Atlanta Millionaires Club has a depth of feeling that is difficult to shake off. Material that evidently emerged from a dark point in her life, this should represent the point Faye Webster steps out into the light.

    Her third album is a small masterpiece of restrained quirks; a slowburner that rearranges retro signifiers in a genuinely creative way. [Jun 2019, p.91]

    Contradictions and duplicities abound. But Webster is not putting us on. For all of its facades, Atlanta Millionaires Club is a work of arresting candour.

    Idiosyncratic yet understated, Atlanta Millionaires Club wraps in a little of everything without doing too much of anything.

    An album that makes for pleasant easy listening, with frequent traces of genius.

    Atlanta Millionaires Club is an intriguing step up from Webster, and she's given herself permission to proceed in a number of directions from here.

    Problems are timelessly ordinary, loneliness lightly worn, and Webster's music is enriched by her unique cultural blend. [Jun 2019, p.37]

    Jumping from dusty folk to booming R&B might feel jarring, but Webster's versatile personality is the core of Atlanta Millionaires Club, and the entire album flows through its changes as naturally and pleasantly as a cool breeze in the depths of summer.

    On Atlanta Millionaires Club, Faye Webster really delivers a wonderful album. At 31 minutes and 10 tracks, she takes you on a cruise of blissOn Atlanta Millionaires Club, Faye Webster really delivers a wonderful album. At 31 minutes and 10 tracks, she takes you on a cruise of bliss through back to back relaxing tracks with some top-notch production and instrumentation. The simplicity of some of the lyrics on these tracks may lead you to think that there's something more to be desired here. Yet when it feeds hand in hand with, in many cases these lovely guitar melodies, the lyrics come off as infectious and catchy each time around. As a result, many of the tracks on here are quite memorable. A really enjoyable listen, definitely worth your time.
