"Guitar slayers notwithstanding, Nobody Told Me is a hallmark Mayall date, chock-full of great songs and performances that underscore his considerable (and well-deserved) reputation.".

"Mayall recorded this album over nine days. This probably meant the lead guitarists would come in and lay down their tracks fairly quickly. The performances are great, but they're not necessarily integrated into the DNA of the song, though. Much like Mayall is encouraging home guitarists to jam along by unveiling the key of each song, it can sometimes feel like the guitarists are similarly-but much more deliberately and proficiently-jamming along. Mayall also doesn't sing with any of his guitarists. That's a shame as guitarists like McCray and Wonderland also have amazing voices. But even with those minor details, this is a fun and impressive album showing you don't have to be a young American to make a killer blues rock album".

"Counting live discs and compilations, John Mayall's wracked up 86 albums, give or take. But wouldn't a completist stop after, say, 30? More pertinent, is there a need to add to the clutter with Nobody Told Me, a new disc from the 85-yearold singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader? The answer: Go for it".
