"The Low Highway is Earle the storyteller without any agenda save for getting the songs right, telling stories, and recording songs that will resonate as deeply live as they do here. This may be his most consistent offering since El Corazón. [The two-disc version also includes a DVD with a documentary on the making of The Low Highway, the video for "Invisible," and a high-resolution version of the album.]".

"Den følsomme ballade Burnin' It Down leverer alvoren helt uden på huden, om et Amerika i opløsning, hvor sangens hovedperson vil brænde Valmart ned. Bedre bliver det ikke på Invisible, der med sit omfavnende poprefræn beskriver fremmedgørelsen mennesker imellem på sørgelig vis. Steve Earle har på The Low Highway tanket op med højoktan og er klar til at indtage endnu en highway".
