Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 58, based on 15 reviews.[1] MacKenzie Wilson of AllMusic describes Johnson as "stick[ing] with what he does best" on the album;[2] this has led some critics to characterize the album as feeling "safe" or unambitious.[2][3] However, Barry Walters of Rolling Stone argues that Johnson explored new content with more politically minded tracks like "Crying Shame" and "Staple It Together".[4] Most critics have described Johnson's delivery as laid-back or mellow;[2][5][4] some tracks were also characterized as employing a "light reggae lilt", a stylistic choice which was generally criticized.[4][6] The overall mood of the album has been described as "upbeat" and "uplifting".[2][6]
