"Many Hiatt fans will probably be pretty happy with Mystic Pinball. It delivers the same musical goods that have been Hiatt's specialty for decades. And the lyrics are as sharp as any in Hiatt's body of work. But those who had hoped for another masterpiece from this veteran artist, something like Hiatt's 1987 gem Bring the Family, for instance, might be a bit disappointed by an album that offers familiar pleasures without stretching for new ones".

"For a guy who has cranked out four studio albums in five years, Hiatt is having a great run as a songwriter -- on this disc, the shaggy dog stories are funny, the blues numbers are full of righteous swagger, and he can sing about love like a guy who is still learning a few things at the age of 60 (and his voice is in fine shape, too)".
