  2. 8.0 |   Paste Magazine

    Another notch in the man’s long discography that you can cherry-pick some favorite moments from and compost the rest
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Voiced in blues, roots, rock, country, folk, and even swing-jazz, his funny, biting, often tender observations of the four D's - decay, death, depression, and drinking - are all present

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Wainwright nails the exigencies of old age through the medium of rockabilly. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

    The whole thing feels like a dusky gambol through America's musical past. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Q

    With almost every line a zinger, Wainwright's cocktail of satire and over-sharing remains potent. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Review 1: "He’s still at the top of his game". Review 2: "A somewhat patchy collection of songs new and old"

    Full of wry commentary on weighty topics like mortality and lonesomeness
