    Longtime fan and I think it's their best album. Breach (2000) may be more distinctive, but something about this collection of songs is addictive. It's a diverse range of styles and encompasses the best aspects of previous records, while eliminating their drawbacks. From the wonderful and plaintive "Maybe Your Heart's Not In It No More" to the high voltage rocker "Who's That Man"; thisLongtime fan and I think it's their best album.

    Jakob Dylan & The Wallflower's best record in a long time! The opener is a masterpiece. There is a song or two that feel like leftovers from his last solo record ("Wrong End Of The Spear"), but a much more solid album overall than their previous one, "Glad All Over". The sound here is more like the country-rock/Americana sound from "Bringing Down The Horse" in places. "Who's That Man"Jakob Dylan & The Wallflower's best record in a long time!

Good to have this band back in the saddle!… Expand

    Most of the album sounds immaculately produced, of course, the result of him basing his operations in Nashville with a group of seasoned musicians. But Dylan remains mostly anonymous throughout, letting others shine while he adds some occasionally poignant touches.

    Exit Wounds isn’t radically different from the band’s other albums. It remains true to the formula the band have always embraced. The lyrics paint vivid pictures and are easy to sing. The melodies are instantly familiar, which is part of what makes them so endearing. And if it isn’t broke, why fix it?

    Can evoke an Americana-tinged Warren Zevon, gruff but tender, with the best songs featuring Shelby Lynne's empathetic vocals. [Jul/Aug 2021, p.133]
