"The performances inject some life into the material, but the songs remain something of an elliptical ramble that circle around their point instead of tackling it straight on. There's some ambling charm to Greendale, but Return to Greendale won't convert doubters. Instead, it'll play well to the album's fans, as this sounds like a leaner, muscular version of the studio set".

"[Et] genvisit til Greendale - den fiktive californiske kystby, han lavede et rockskuespil om i 2003 ... Her får vi historien en gang til - i en liveoptagelse fra samme år i fødebyen Toronto ... med Crazy Horses typiske spartanske, tunge bluesrock-arrangementer som bund er man aldrig i tvivl om, at det her ér hjerteblod fra [Neil] Young. Kræfterne i den vildt overstyrede tordenguitar er medrivende som altid. Det samme gælder den skønne distortion-mundharpe, og den inderlige sang".

"The sound of the band is remarkable and Young is fiery and dynamic, playing electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica, organ, and feeding his voice through both clean and treated mics. Crazy Horse are there for him like only they can be, with bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina locked in tight, and guitarist Frank "Poncho" Sampedro, a normally lively stage presence, instead seated to play electric piano and keys ... This multi-generational story seemed aimed both at boomers and their heirs, emphasizing that the stewardship of Earth is a progressive, forward thinking concern that all of us should embrace".

"It's more than a little fitting that Neil Young chooses to revisit his Greendale project right around the 2020 presidential election. The themes he pursued in the original 2003 album, in all its various formats, are not only right in line with the socially-conscious approach he's maintained in recent years, but also reflect more widespread concerns about corporate business practices, the media and the environment that have risen as pertinent issues in the interim. Add to that the fact he and The Horse only did a single tour in support of the record and the time certainly is right for some additional exposure".
