"The emphasis is entirely on melody and feel, a combination that seems amiable and easy; even on the sad songs (and there aren't too many of those), Lynch seems to be singing with a smile. The unrepentant cheerfulness suits a set of songs so heavily polished they gleam, and so anodyne it's hard to tell whether Lynch is singing about his little town, an old country song, or his good girl. Some could call this tonal consistency, but the adherence to the middle of the road makes Tullahoma not much more than finely crafted background music".

"With seven No. 1s and eight Top 10s, time has proved to be Lynch's friend because Tullahoma is his most dynamic and autobiographical contribution to date. His performances radiate confidence, and everything is arena-ready ... the 11-track album features six songs co-written by Lynch and delivers flashes of well-orchestrated, electronic country-pop that gives way to instrumentation that embraces country music's rich and timeless heritage. Throughout the album, Lynch waxes lyrical about being from Small Town, U.S.A., finding the love of your life and an earth-shattering breakup ... Overall, as the man who broke through with "Cowboys and Angels," Lynch sounds on Tullahoma like he's even more focused on leaving a legacy that his legendary predecessors would want to know. It's a continuation of his evolving signature sound that still clings to the country roots that raised him".
