    There's tear-in-the bear country, an angry field song, but the killer is Sorrow's shine. Classic Jim White. [Feb 2015, p.95]

    The beauty of the album is that it draws its charm from the natural collision of styles. [Feb 2015, p.74]

    Take It Like a Man isn't White's best album, but it does give him a chance to take a musical detour, and with the Packway Handle Band at his side, this turns out to be a thoroughly enjoyable side trip that suits him well.

    Since White has the more recognizable name, and also produced the project, Take it Like a Man bears more of his absurdist influence, which is a good thing.

    There's breezy charm to much of the music here. [Feb 2015, p.117]

    Take It Like A Man is a disjointed affair with a slippery identity.

    Of course, most of the songs by these artists are fun and silly more often than serious.

    Being almost (there’s that qualifier again) conventional, Take It Like a Man may not hit the same highs for fans as White’s more seminal work, but it’s a solid set of songs given engaging performances.
