  1. 9.0 |   The Quietus

    Not since Beastie Boys' 2004 album To The 5 Boroughs has an album been such an impassioned love letter to New York City

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Strikes the happiest balance between their early anarchy and more mature leanings in years. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    At 35 minutes, this LP's greatest fault is it leaves you wanting to shout for an encore

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A satisfyingly down and dirty album that works up a sweat reeking of the Big Apple

  5. 7.5 |   The 405

    After a succession of disappointing pastiches, the boys have gone back to the good old days, and reawakened a three-headed monster

  6. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    The Blues Explosion’s cheeky, scrappy brand of rock'n'roll is still something to cherish in the here and now

  7. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    May not reach the dizzy, boundary-pushing heights of the Explosion's experimental '90s peak but it still beats the hell out of most of the feeble music out there

  8. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Showcases three men who grasp that great rock’n’roll can be at once rudimentary, virtuoso and preposterous. Print edition only

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Jon Spencer Blues Explosion have found a formula that works, and you can’t really argue with the results when the music is as good as it definitely is

  10. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The Blues Explosion succeeds in honoring New York’s bevy of musical riches, even if it’s in their own off-kilter manner
