"Country music superstar, actress, entrepreneur and everybody's favourite redhead, Reba McEntire, is back on the music scene with Stronger Than the Truth ... McEntire is in her own lane and there are not many in the industry who can be compared to her. Perhaps this alone is a good enough reason to listen to the album from start to finish".

"McEntire sticks to the kind of country that made her a star back in the '80s, emphasizing nuanced ballads and well-rendered narratives. Tempos rarely quicken on Stronger Than the Truth - apart from the two western swing numbers, there's the gilded confidence of "Storm in a Shot Glass," but not much more than that -- but the album doesn't feel soft or meandering ... the album feels flinty even when it's tender, a combination that's long been a signature of McEntire's. She channels this empathetic toughness into a series of songs that plays like short stories - there are tales of dashed dreams, managed expectations, and earned love, along with many other manners of adult concerns - and that deft, subtle blend of music and message gives Stronger Than the Truth a lasting emotional resonance".
