Midnight Special is the fifth studio album by Uncle Kracker, released on November 20, 2012, under Sugar Hill Records.
Allmusic described the album as "a sunny, laid-back ride, a record made for lazy afternoons of day drinking.
"[1] Roughstock gave the album 4/5 stars and stated "It'd be easy to dismiss Uncle Kracker's first full-length country album as yet another attempt by a pop/rock has-been trying to cash in on mainstream country music's popularity."
They also added that Uncle Kracker's transition to Country felt like "A natural one.
On a more positive note, they added the album is "like tuning in to 1970s AM radio, full of sunny melodies and smooth grooves.
