Cold beer conversation

"It's good to have George Strait with us, giving us something to believe in and being someone we can believe in. In the end Cold Beer Conversation isn't just another in a long line of superior releases, it's a beacon of good writing, playing and singing. But it's also all we could want or expect from a man who embodies the best that country music has to offer".

"[Producer Chuck] Ainlay provides just the slightest hint of contemporization, opening up the mix a bit and adding splashes of handsomely burnished color, subtle - almost imperceptible - changes that nevertheless freshen Strait's proudly traditional country without pushing it into a cacophonous modern mainstream ... Still, what holds the album together is Strait's mellow command. He's a singer that can make quiet seem compelling, and there are plenty of instances in this tight, wholly satisfying record where he demands attention by not asking for it".
