Number Seven takes most of its cues from the six albums before it, pairing grizzled country-rockers with the occasional world-weary ballad.

"[1] Glide Magazine writes, "Acting as his own producer for the first time, Hoge says this album feels truer to his personal vision than any he’s made.

"[3] Bill Clifford of PopMatters writes, "Often, you’ll hear young singer/songwriters with a poetic lyrical bent being tagged with "…the next Dylan" comparison.

"[2] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock says in his review that, "Number Seven is clearly evoking classic country/rockers like Neil Young, Tom Petty and The Band but it never, ever feels like Will Hoge is copying or trying to be them.

Instead, he’s used their templates to craft another steady, and downright fantastic collection of songs that is as good as anything you’ll hear coming out of Nashville, Los Angeles or New York this year.
