"Although the swampy grit that won Mathus his reputation can certainly be found on 2019's Incinerator, most of the time it's overshadowed by more thoughtful material, late-night laments in which he ponders love gone wrong or decisions made poorly ... if you've ever wanted a Jimbo Mathus album for a rare dark night of the soul, Incinerator is just that kind of music, and he makes it connect with the same loosely tight commitment that fans would expect".

"The album ends with a straight-forward version of an old A.P. Carter song, "Give Me The Roses," about how important it is to show love while a person is still alive and not after they have died. This seems to be the life lesson that runs through this album most strongly. The song itself shows that Mathus could shine as a bluegrass or gospel singer as he could as a rock star. Mathus can, in fact, shine in any genre he chooses, and as strong as a solo artist or with the Squirrel Nut Zippers. He is an outstanding product of the Delta his music and his soul spring from and this is very obvious on Incinerator".
