Entering Heaven Alive feels of a piece with White's previous work, yet the ideas are synthesized and executed in fresh, inventive ways, suggesting that the ungainly Boarding House Reach was indeed a transitionary album to allow him to do music that's as relaxed and vibrant as this

Entering Heaven Alive isn’t your typical Jack White rock record, but it doesn’t need to be. It shows a different artistic side of his craft and approach

Second solo album of the year from the former White Stripes man finds him in mostly relaxed, stripped-back mood and it works beautifully

Record Collector
If the past few years have seen the former White Stripes man in something akin to his 80s Dylan phase – a legend whose status is long secured wilfully doing what he wants with scant regard for commerciality or what his audience might think – then history might view Entering Heaven Alive as the moment the balance is redressed.

Enough of the album works that it’s easily White’s best solo release and the best thing he’s made in quite some time

Exclaim
The songs of Entering Heaven Alive probably won't become the genre touchstones that White's heavier tunes are, but they're a fresh glimpse into a songwriter who, long considered a retro traditionalist, now continues to get more unpredictable with each album cycle

The follow-up to this year’s wild Fear of the Dawn is a stripped-down songwriter record, but often the songs don’t resonate as deeply as the sounds
