    Some of Stomping Ground sounds much as expected, like the chunka-chunka boogie of If You Wanna Rock’n’roll and My Stomping Ground, assisted by Eric Clapton and Billy Gibbons respectively. Elsewhere there are more surprising moments. [Dec 2021, p.69]

    It would be nice to hear a more nuanced and stylistically diverse album from Dion (like 2005's Bronx in Blue or 2016's New York Is My Home), but there are more than enough great moments on Stomping Ground to remind us Dion is still a major talent over 60 years after scoring his first hit single.

    It's taut urban blues business as usual. [Dec 2021, p.26]

    A little more sonic danger may have roughed-up the pristine veneer that dampens the fun. [Dec 2021, p.89]
