May 9, 2018An interesting debut that seemed a little too reliant on cliched lyrics and replicating the late 1950s-early 1960s Soul sound it was going for to be truly great. Highlights are limited to the first four tracks.

Aug 14, 2015This isn't a bad album but there are some major flaws. Leon Bridges was clearly going for a old school soul album which he hit straight on the head. the flaw being that he didn't give it any personality. Its a cookie cutter album of what soul is if that makes any sense. The tracks are forgettable and a little boring at times

Jul 9, 201510 songs over 35 minutes at first feeling slight--yet not a sax bleed, organ snap, or female choral echo combs out as less than true-blue.

Jul 8, 2015The majority of the 10 songs are in the three minute range and the album only lasts about half an hour. That’s actually a benefit.

Jun 30, 2015Accessorised with Staxy horns and handclaps, the resulting album has a genuine groove and glow.
