Nightfall

"The hooks, harmonies, and aural sumptuousness of late-period [Fleetwood] Mac have long been a touchstone for Little Big Town, yet this sound is merely a connective thread on an album that finds the quartet settling into a subdued but not necessarily settled middle age ... The hushed atmosphere isn't monotonous: not only is there room for the aforementioned goofy "Wine, Beer, Whiskey," "Forever and a Night" builds to a gospel crescendo, "Bluebird" is breezy and gentle, and "Sugar Coat" offers a dose of measured majestic melodrama. Perhaps these distinctions are understated but they're nevertheless felt and help give Nightfall a delicate richness; it's music for meditative mornings or for afternoons in need of a dose of consolation and comfort".

"The self-produced album questions the demands and beauty standards foisted upon women and acknowledges how hard it can be to break free of them on songs like "The Daughters" and "Sugar Coat." That the group serves those messages with a glistening pop-country sheen feels downright subversive".
