  1. 10.0 |   Northern Transmissions

    Frozen Charlotte is a classic rock album in an era where rock no longer packs the radio waves
    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    Demonstrates once again that Jack White remains a high level blues rock maestro and tone scientist still in the prime of his career
    Read Review

  3. 9.0 |   Uncut

    White channels the chemistry of a battle-hardened touring band
    Read Review

  4. 8.3 |   Consequence Of Sound

    More than most of the albums in his Rock Hall career, White’s Frozen Charlotte is a love letter to his favorite instrument

  5. 8.3 |   Paste Magazine

    The Detroit-bred, Nashville-based rock guru maintains the steady footing he established on 2024’s No Name for another batch of blues-punk barn-burners
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Frozen Charlotte is very much a guitar record – and one that is less inviting, at least on initial plays, than No Name. Stick with it, though, and it reveals its many charms and wonders. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   Hot Press

    This record really is stellar stuff
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    Offers up his most consistently bluesy offering since the early 2000s. Frozen Charlotte is a continuation of the streamlined rippers of 2024's No Name, although there's nothing here as straightforwardly catchy as "That's How I'm Feeling"

  9. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    White’s eighth solo album documents perpetual disorder, challenged connections, and idealism under siege. It’s also a kickass rock record
    Read Review

  10. 7.7 |   Pitchfork

    Delivers night-terror boogie and fleet-fingered car-crash jams with the technical proficiency and liturgical intensity of a rock’n’roll lifer
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Combines high-quality rock and roll songwriting with contemplative, in places borderline ominous lyrics, creating a febrile atmosphere throughout thirteen tracks that are rewarded by repeat listens; a fine entry to the canon of one of analogue music’s flag bearers

  12. 7.0 |   Clash

    These 13 cuts may not stand among his defining achievements, but neither do they break a spell that has endured for nearly four decades
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Gloriously grungry blues rock that, at times, is the heaviest he's ever sounded makes for an unmistakably Jack White album
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   NME

    The former White Stripes man throws lightning bolts over his own '70s riff universe on his seventh solo outing – but it's nothing new
    Read Review

  15. 7.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    We’re currently witnessing one of the most distinctive and genre-defining guitarists of the century, and I'll relish the opportunity to kick back and appreciate the privilege of watching a musician of Jack White's caliber continue doing what he does best

  16. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Following the superb No Name, White continues his fan service with stripped back songs and nasty, anarchic riffs – though it all ends up feeling a little samey
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Jack White still sings like a tomcat, and his caterwauling guitar keeps up his career-long argument for songs that chuck in every kitchen sink to hand
    Read Review

  18. 5.0 |   Far Out

    A solid record, albeit uninspired
