Reviews


An uncredited review from the Associated Press was favorable, saying that "Ford not only illustrates that country music can continue to draw on other contemporary musical styles, he also shows that modern-era rednecks can mix with the rest of the world, too."[2] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock rated it four stars out of five, similarly saying that it "finds him once again bridging the gap between two diametrically opposite genres with skill."[3] Giving it three-and-a-half stars out of five, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic compared the sound to Kid Rock, saying that Ford had "swagger" and "bravado".[1] Sam Gazdziak of Country Standard Time gave a mixed review, praising "All In" and "Way Too Early" as the countriest-sounding, and calling "Angels & Demuns" a standout, but criticizing some of the songs' themes by saying that "The 'country pride' songs dominate, and there are so many of them saying essentially the same thing that they become indistinguishable."[4] As of Oct. 28,2012 the album has sold 106,000 copies.
