  1. 9.0 |   Uncut

    Spirited, life-affirming performances
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Slant Magazine

    What makes Carry Me Back such a strong album and such an improvement over its predecessor is that the band has realized that maturing doesn't mean they can't still get rowdy

  3. 8.0 |   Blurt

    With Carry Me Back, they have succeeded in bringing a genre back to the world in its purest form. Fiddles, mandolins, acoustic guitars and standup bass intermingle to create a music that diehard roots music fans would love and, at the same time, win over new converts

  4. 8.0 |   BBC

    Old-time stylists make a fiery bid for the spotlight
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   All Music

    This isn't a one-trick pony band, and so far at least, Old Crow Medicine Show haven't painted themselves into a creative corner, managing somehow to sound both old and refreshingly new at once

  6. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Ticks all the boxes: jaunty, soulful, nostalgic without being cloying

  7. 7.0 |   Spin

    Roots-bootleggers carry old-time forward with a bright batch of swoony strums and grassy ecstasy
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    What makes their latest album, Carry Me Back, a slight step forward is the focus on songwriting

  9. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Stands as one of the group’s strongest efforts to date
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   The Observer

    A polished set of original songs that stretch their old-timey, southern identity into new shapes
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    It all amounts to an enjoyable listen but these former buskers are still best enjoyed live

  12. 4.2 |   A.V. Club

    A half-baked cornbread loaf of an album
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   Q

    It's as if they've lost their nerve at the very moment they could have become interesting. Print edition only
