"Forget country-pop -- this is an adult contemporary pop album through and through, all slick surfaces and insistent melodrama, the kind of music made for the crossover diva Evans now is. Evans elegantly matches the oversized arrangements, matching each crescendo and hushed moment, while the songs are cannily constructed pieces of pop, sounding stronger with each play. Certainly, fans hoping that Evans will return to country music will be disappointed, but Slow Me Down is something that is rare in 2014: an unapologetic, big-scale adult pop album, constructed with grace and care".

""Slow Me Down" is her seventh album, and though it traverses a range of musical moods - sinister, cheery, lonesome and more - she's rarely in anything but a vexed mood ... She sings with power, grace and dignity. That resilience can flatten out her roughest edges at times, which is a shame, because she's capable of real depth. But in general, the redemptive air she brings offers a different shade beyond generic loathing of the self and others".
