AllMusic2016ByByStephen Thomas Erlewine2016"Despite this embrace of blues and rebellion, much of Wynonna & the Big Noise is rooted in soul, whether it's the down-home faith of "Jesus and a Jukebox" or a sharp cover of Raphael Saadiq's "Staying in Love." The presence of the latter suggests just how casually inclusive and sharp this album is: freed of commercial expectations and paired with an empathetic band, Wynonna will sing anything she damn well pleases and she's wound up with a monster of an album".Read review

That quality is joy. It dominates, not just because Judd is performing with a small group led by her husband, the drummer and producer Cactus Moser, letting loose on songs she hand-selected because she liked them rather than out of concern for padding her remarkable roster of hits. Wynonna & The Big Noise lays bare the joy that is Judd's most potent gift as a vocalist".
