Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review: "It's Sheryl Crow at her best, delivering music that is firmly rooted in the past, yet recorded and performed with a modern feel and flair..." 4.5 stars.

Billboard review: "a masterfully crafted collection that warmly recalls the era of album-driven FM rock radio."

David Browne's review: "In the same way Crow works a room, so does 'C'mon, C'mon' jostle its way into your head." Grade of B+.

Bob Gulla's review: "It is, without a doubt, one of the best commercial rock albums of the year..."

Arion Berger's review: "devoid of the dreamy first-light coherence and good-time-gal oomph that Crow can pull off so effortlessly. Instead, it's heavy on billowy ballads and rife with unforgivably lazy lyrics..." 3 stars.

Anthony Kuzminski's review: "has in turn created a near perfect pop record."
