  1. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    Earle has always forged armor out of his scars, and by that token, I’ll Never Get Out is impregnable, yet achingly vulnerable

  4. 8.0 |   Blurt

  5. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Blessed with two apparently contradictory gifts: the ability to animate fictional lives, and a streak of cussed, lefty sincerity that gives bite to his truth-telling.

  6. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    As befits a novelist, the songs are narratives concerned with the big issues. Life, death, that sort of thing. Good record

    His creative fires are burning steady, still, and if you care for him you’ll want a seat at the hearth

  9. 7.0 |   Spin

    Earle's first original set in four years is still a landmark of grimness - even his devotional songs invoke mortality

  10. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    It's easy to forget that Steve Earle is a country singer. He reminds you here

  11. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A solid addition to Steve Earle’s vast catalog and a reminder that despite having a full plate, music is forever where his heart lays

  12. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    A satisfying mix of protest song and personal contemplation, delivered with unvarnished - sometimes to the point of jarring - accompaniment

  13. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   Q

    The Grammy-nominated This City is a genuine gem. Print edition only

  15. 6.0 |   The Observer

    A fiery indignation still underpins that sandpaper rasp of a voice
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Mojo

    [An album] he's done better before. Print edition only

  17. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Replays a variety of styles Earle mastered long ago, from Celtic-flecked folk to turbo-powered country rock to reflective thought pieces

  18. 5.8 |   Pitchfork

    Earle's albums have been extremely uneven for some time now
