"Tweedy's Shakespearean lockdown project ... This album marries Tweedy's mature emotional outlook (love is all, and is a dream worth dreaming) to the workaday manners of Uncle Tupelo or the Woody Guthrie project, Mermaid Avenue. There's a home video lurking on YouTube of Tweedy sitting on his sofa, strumming his way through Talking Heads' "Heaven". The sound of Love Is The King is what you'd expect from the bar band in that song: briskly functional, with an enduring tension between Tweedy's balmy vocals and the electric guitar, which arrives in these songs like a deluge".
