  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    One of these simple pleasures, a port in the storm in these troubled times. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    On this evidence, Neil Young is clearly still very much in the game

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Talkin To The Trees finds Young largely preoccupied with matters closer to home. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   All Music

    Talkin to the Trees is another album of Neil Young doing what he felt like doing in the moment, and if it's flawed, after 60 years of record-making, no one with any sense would want him any other way

  5. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Talkin’ To The Trees is no major return to form: there is too much letting go of unfinished things on view here for that

  6. 7.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    The album takes a number of left turns and features a great number of references to previous Young albums, both the popular and the obscure

  7. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    The immortal rock and roller’s “debut album” with the chrome hearts is a cache of his talents and a kind, albeit lopsided addition to his musical history

  9. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    His first LP with the Chrome Hearts has songs about Trump, clean cars, and family — plus an accidental Brian Wilson tribute

  10. 6.0 |   The Independent

    On his 48th album, we find the Godfather of Grunge beetling along heroically/tediously in the same old tyre tracks he’s been stuck in for years

  11. 4.0 |   Record Collector

    Where Rubin as co-producer, threaded some cohesion through the playful instrumental idiosyncrasies of Yiung and his long-running cohorts, Talkin To The Trees is, like the idea of a "chrome heart" itself, an uneasy hybrid. Print edition only
