"Reboot eases the duo back into active duty, pairing Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn with 12 young stars. The idea is to emphasize the connection between Brooks & Dunn and the new generation, a gambit that often pays off ... Reboot sounds a little uneasy whenever Brooks & Dunn venture outside of this rockin' country wheelhouse ... Brooks & Dunn may be a tad too old to learn new tricks, but the rest of Reboot proves that they're still adept at sounding big and burly nearly 30 years after their debut".

"The songs have stood the test of time. Updated here, perhaps too much at times (think drums beats and electronics as on "Lost and Found," where it overwhelms newcomer Tyler Booth) to give them more of a modern sheen. Too bad because that was not needed. Then again that's what producer Dann Huff is about. Better yet is the twangy, steely guitar and feel of "My Next Broken Heart' with Jon Pardi as the song gallops along. Modern beats aside at times, Brooks & Dunn give a generally welcome re-introduction of their songs with help from musicians who seem to have the right interpretation".
