The Band Perry (album)

[2] Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips said that the album was "more introspective and engrossing than typical radio fare", and praised Kimberly's "unpolished" voice, but thought that some songs had "aimless" lyrics.

[3] Also giving it a positive review, Michael McCall of the Associated Press compared the band favorably to Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum, and said that the album's "emphasis is on easygoing, back-porch music.

"[4] However, Maddy Costa at The Guardian evoked how "their country-rock sound has been lacquered to a high gloss, burying Neil Perry's mandolin and Stuart Duncan's fiddle beneath slick guitar, domineering pop rhythms and sickly strings.

"[5] Roughstock's Bobby Peacock did not agree with Costa, when he wrote that this is a "surprisingly diverse debut album", and this is done with Kimberly voice that is "matched perfectly to an uncluttered, mostly acoustic production that's clean without being slick.

"[6] Lastly, Peacock told that "the songs are vaguely reminiscent of Taylor Swift's exuberance, lyrical detail and boy-craziness, not to mention her way with a catchy melody.
