"Whether he's making a religious leap of faith ("The Big Revival") or trying to make the most of his limited days on this lonely planet ("Til It's Gone") or just tailgating before a big college football game ("Flora-Bama"), country's number-one beach bum continuously brings a sense of musical energy and emotional urgency his previous easygoing albums have sometimes lacked. Even paint-by-numbers moments like "Beer Can Chicken," a catchy echo of the hit "Chicken Fried" by Chesney imitator Zac Brown, are worth bringing out the grill for".

"Chesney remains a bit of a romantic with a fondness for drinking songs, but there are passing references to Bonnaroo and Burning Man while the lead single, "American Kids," offers a snapshot of how life is lived in 2014. These scattered allusions help Chesney seem like a modern man, even as he faces the start of his third decade as a country star, while the sly slickness The Big Revival also feels contemporary: far from chasing the bro-country wagon, Chesney overhauls his core strengths, winding up with his best record in years".
