- UncutMar 20, 2026Is what might be expected of a song entitled "My Kinda Saturday Night", all growling guitars, pounding pianos and soaring choruses extolling the merits of beer, pickup trucks and jukeboxes. But it is no less irresistibly rousing for that, and the same can be said of the broadly similar "Back In The Saddle" nd "Alcohol Of Fame". [Apr 2026, p.29]
- Mar 20, 2026Spilling out over the course of 73 minutes, the album drags, even if it has no specific slow spots. .... Any random song on The Way I Am is sharply crafted and unpretentious in a way that carries on the best Nashville traditions. If it’s not quite a comeback, it is, at least, a satisfying demonstration of Combs’ strengths.
- MojoMar 20, 2026Some of the 22 tracks teeter on the edge of pure corn. [May 2026, p.86]
- Mar 20, 2026The result is an overlong supply of sturdy country that occasionally shows a stickier side to Combs’ songcraft. It’s best to treat The Way I Am as a sampler with 22 chapters.
