"Those looking for recent Eagle member Gill's more animated side will need to go elsewhere. Compared to what's here, even that band's most languid performances sound like garage rock. A little sincerity goes a long way, and the lack of a lighter conceptual touch doesn't do this set any favors. But the exquisite Okie is nonetheless filled with emotions he evidently needed to express, which makes it an important entry in his bulging catalog and arguably his most intimate, deeply felt release".

"Gill's latest studio LP, Okie, his first in three years, is yet another bullet point to fit under the "He Didn't Have to Do This But He Did Anyway" section of his bio. It's an intensely personal collection of songs, and it happens to be a sterling one at that. As is the case with other master songwriters, such as Jason Isbell and Hayes Carll, Gill uses some songs to intimately tell his own story while some songs are colorful tales of fiction ... Vince Gill certainly didn't have to record Okie for us to know he's one of the greats. But because he did, we now know his more intimately than we ever have before".
