Not only did he score three No. 1 hits, but critics responded warmly to his gorgeous baritone, his tasteful sense of understatement, and his neo-honky-tonk instincts. Adkins, though, is not much of a songwriter--he cowrote two songs on his debut and two more on his followup, Big Time. As a result, he's only as good as the songs he sings, and the 10 new tunes on the new album are a pretty lackluster bunch. The title track is one verbal and music cliché after another ("A sip of champagne by candlelight ... let 'em dance until the cows come home" he sings over a generic Brooks & Dunn ripoff), and it sets the tone for the whole project. "See Jane Run" is meant to parody the naivet´ of first-grade readers but merely reproduces it. "Nothin' But Taillights" has the misfortune of appearing in the wake of the much better, similarly-named title track on the new Clint Black album. Adkins can still be an appealing singer when he gets the right material, as he proves on a haunting, unplugged version of the old hymn, "Wayfaring Stranger." --Geoffrey Himes | | | |

 One of the best true country CD's of the year! Nov 08, 2001
On his sophomore effort, Trace shows his strong baritone voice can prevail on a wide variety of songs from fast to slow. The title cut steps put with one of the biggest guitar licks ever put to country music. Combined with a heavy beat and Trace's strong vocals, this is one of our favorite songs of the year. Trace scores one of the best love songs ever written with his self-penned For The Rest Of Mine which shows Trace's voice at it's best. No one could do this song better. Trace shows his deep gospel roots with his incredible version of Wayfaring Stranger. I've listened to this one track (as well as the title track) hundreds of times on repeat. Trace shows his sense of humor on Took Her To The Moon where he's wondering what he did to make this girl start redecorating his house and totally changing his life. A lot of men will identify. Other great songs are Twenty-Four, Seven, Hold You Now and Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone, where he shows off his falsetto. Trace continues to broaden his scope and reach to the next level. This is one of the best true country CD's of the year. Editor, eCowboy.com

Not as good as his first, but not bad. Oct 21, 1999
I liked this album. It wasn't as good as his first album, but is not as bad as the Amazon.com review would have you believe. The songs that save this album are "Took Her To The Moon," "Hold You Now," and the best song on the album, "Rest Of Mine." It is a beautiful love song that he wrote for his wife. It was released shortly after my mother and stepfather were married and they loved the song. Overall, he needs to release a better album if he is going to stay in this business much longer.

Great second cd! Jan 04, 2004
By Peter
I thought the Amazon editorial review was very unfair in regards to what he thought of this cd. I'm a big Trace Adkins fan. I got introduced to Trace's music through his Chrome cd and was hooked. He has one of the most amazing, one-of-a-kind male voices in country music today, next to Toby Keith. Trace sounds like no one else. His deep and rich baritone voice has an honesty to it that makes his songs come across with that much more conviction. He can also hit the high notes really good too. When he sings a love song or a song of heartbreak, you know the man means every word! There is nothing artificial about Trace and that is why i love the guy so much. He's an honest, hard-working blue collar man who sings good songs. After hearing the Chrome cd, i went and bought his first cd and this one. I've yet to get his third cd, but will be purchasing it very soon. I also have his Greatest Hits cd and will be getting his new cd soon also. I enjoy all his cds, though my favorite Trace Adkins cd is Chrome, and i've yet to hear his new cd, which i understand is his best yet. Can't wait to find out! I find that the Big Time cd gets better with each listen. The best track on the cd is The Rest Of Mine. I love when Trace does ballads! But alot of the other songs on the cd are really great. Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone is amazing with the way he hits the high notes for a guy who can sing SO deep with his baritone. I'm totally thrilled that Trace was recently inducted into the country music hall of fame. This is one country artist who defintely deserves the award. I'm very happy for him!! Way to go, Trace!! You have a fan for life.
Trace! Nuff said! Dec 07, 2010

I bought it because it was Trace. Trace Adkins. How can you go wrong with him???? Then I listened to it and realized all over again why I love this man so much. The CD is song after song after song that hits home, makes you smile, brings a tear, whatever. Trace Adkins always delivers!
