"Brett Young doesn't take many chances on his eponymous debut album ... Young plays it straight down the middle, favoring soft touches and sweet melodies, never rushing a song and never cranking the tempo ... All this means that Brett Young is exceptional comfort music, a record designed for waiting rooms, malls, and housework, perhaps a little love hangover, but it also means that Young seems like a bit part on his own record: what matters isn't the singer but rather the sound".

"The debut album is proof of how he landed on so many artist to watch lists for the upcoming year, including Sounds Like Nashville's. Ladies will wish he was singing directly to them while male counterparts will be wishing they were as suave to pull the lyrics off. This project leaves room for Young to explore different themes beyond matters of the heart, but for right now it's okay to swoon over this lovesick album".

"The material is satisfying, even pleasant, but Young did not pick songs that were ready to be canonized as among the greatest country love songs. Young probably has done what one is supposed to do these days with a debut - attract some airplay, playing it ultra safe by not taking chances and hopefully build a career. Not projections on the future, but for Young, anyway, two out of three ain't bad".
