"Earle completed 20 songs during the Single Mothers sessions, and eventually he opted to release the material on two separate albums, so four months after the release of Single Mothers, Absent Fathers brings us the remainder of this song cycle ... Like Earle's best work, Absent Fathers is low on flash and high on emotional honesty and perceptive songwriting, and paired with Single Mothers this is some of his most intelligent and moving music to date".

"Vurdering: B-" - "Highlighting JTE's ability to channel both heartache and happiness through his unguarded lyrics and crisp guitar, Absent Fathers feels authentic and true - exactly how country music should. As Earle makes clear, our lifelong search for companionship, however rocky and rambling it may be, is always worth the effort".

"En lyd så ren, at den kan sælge anlæg i Hi-Fi-klubben. Således også på albummet 'Absent Fathers'. Men også med fingerspillet folk som på 'Looking For A Place To Land', bumlende bar-rock som på 'Round The Bend' og southern soul som på 'When The One You Love Looses Faith In You'. Det er ikke lyden, der gør ondt. Men når steel pedal-guitaren græder som en trofast ven på bænken, og Earl junior synger linjer som »haunted by the ghost of a child's hopes«, forstår man, at den bløde lyd er kattens tunge, der slikker sår".
