"Winter's final album, Step Back, doesn't always match his early grit - The Johnny Winter Story box set, released earlier this year, is much richer. With guests like Billy Gibbons, Eric Clapton and Joe Perry, the new LP draws from the Fifties electric blues Winter heard as a teenager, but it loses some of those recordings' electric mud, surrounding the guitarist's ravaged howl with slick production and unimaginative arrangements".

"He sounds a tough and engaged as he has in decades. Winter was, in the end, the embodiment of the third-act triumph, even if the curtain fell before he had a chance to bask in a final standing ovation".

"Winter here sounds as moving as he's ever been in his 40-plus years of guitar slingin' and barefootin'. His voice has aged into a smooth, velvety rasp with a dark-alley swagger that affirms he's been around to see a thing or two, and wouldn't you like to know about it. Then there's that slippery snake of a slide guitar, cagey and dirty - Winter glides off the rails and back again with the coolest of ease ... 'Step Back' is Johnny Winter's persuasive wrangling of vintage backroom Chicago blues viewed through the eyes of a kid from the Gulf Coast of Texas".
