"After first cutting his teeth in gospel music, Randolph has been storming stages across the country and around the world with his heavyweight fusion of blues, rock, and gospel influences, with the dirtied-up tone of his instrument wailing hard and crying with passion as he and his band draw sweat ... Brighter Days is a bit tidier and less adventurous than 2017's Got Soul, but it captures the heart and soul of Robert Randolph & the Family Band as well as their big, bold sound, and the results are strong, satisfying stuff".

"Robert Randolph's dynamic playing, ranging from the delta blues to classic country to what could be mistaken for a theremin is shown heavily throughout the album. It is no wonder he was selected by Rolling Stone as one of their top 100 guitarists of all time. Robert Randolph and the Family Band have been consistently releasing high energy, genre-fusing albums for nearly two decades, and they continue to craft them with the utmost care. Brighter Days is a clean and crisp album full of impressive instrumentation, lyrics rife with imagery and the passion that gets fans out of their seats euphorically dancing".

"This is another in a series of solid, R&B-soaked Sacred Steel albums, each a little better and more focused than the last, that further cements the pedal steel's - and Robert Randolph's own - musical place both in and outside of the church".

"Brighter Days is one of those albums that sounds like whatever you want it to. Most music fans will hear something they recognize in the music. The gospel isn't particularly hard to find, but the rock, country, blues, soul, and funk are nice treats, seemingly appearing whenever the listener wants them. The songwriting is impressively strong, with no weak or filler tracks. While Randolph is the focal point, the Family Band, which, in addition to his sister, includes cousins Danyel Morgan on bass and Marcus Randolph on drums, is amazingly versatile in how they can move between styles so fluidly. Brighter Days comes from sacred steel, and remains rooted in it, but isn't locked into it".
