    The album keeps faith with The Jayhawks' trademark expansive Americana. [Oct 2018, p.29]

    Louris and company have created a soothing balm for overly neurotic and trying times. [Sep 2018, p.89]

    The best songs on Back Roads and Abandoned Motels are a lovely reminder of what the Jayhawks have been doing so well for over 30 years, and if this album might make one wonder if Gary Louris is running low on songwriting ideas, he still leads a band to be reckoned with.
