    Diplo saw "Old Town Road" as a chance to capitalize on a trend that has come and passed. The song with Thomas Rhett and Young Thug is slick but not enough to propel the project higher than a mediocre trend-chasing miss.

    The result is still just a big, slick, debatably-decent pop record.

    Neither country nor Americana, Peck is a hip outsider who is now rubbing shoulders with the anodyne likes of Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Blanco Brown, and the Jonas Brothers, a group that makes for a passable enough half hour of entertainment but collectively don't add up to a cohesive or surprising country-pop aesthetic from Diplo.

    Playful spirit is in short supply on a record where club beats, acoustic strumming, and parched guitar lines usually get siphoned into unobtrusively earnest background pop. [Jun 2020, p.71]
