Oct 10, 2014I just don't get Jack White. He has a few good ideas some times, but he just doesn't seem to know how to write songs that are captivating enough. Just some more standard Black Keys blues rock for you here. Favorite track: Would You Fight for My Love?

Aug 3, 2014I absolutely love the rest of White's work, including 2012's Blunderbuss, but I feel this album lacks the songwriting style that made the rest of his records so alluring. Generally just not as entertaining as his previous releases. Still, kudos for the man for continuing to popularize this type of music for this generation.

Classic Rock MagazineDec 18, 2014An eclectic work, Lazaretto shows off White's multi-instrumental, seasoned-producer lineage with some charismatic flashes. As a complete exercise in songcraft, however, it's a little thin. [Summer 2014, p.88]
-
Kerrang!Aug 5, 2014It's vibrant and soulful, but undercut with a darkness that's hinted just enough to haunt these songs. [28 Jun 2014, p.54]

MagnetJul 18, 2014White's aesthetic, as always, is grounded in the immediate and the visceral, and Lazaretto rocks. [No. 111, p.60]
