Leon Bridges Coming Home

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Tunes like the tender title track dance right back to the late Fifties, and album closer 'River' is a gospel-blues testimony that runs deep."
"For someone who picked up the guitar just four years ago and discovered his more recent inspirations shortly before that, Bridges nails the audacious '60s affectation."
"The vibrant 'Shine' is filled with languid horns and sweet doo-wop backing vocals..."
Paste (magazine) - "Bridges sounds like the 21st century reincarnation of Cooke, with his smooth, soulful croon directly out the turbulent times of the early 1960s."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Bridges can sing magnificently, and has the obvious Sunday choir-honed chops. There is an appealing gentleness to his voice, and to his record, that sets him somewhat apart."
Clash (Magazine) - "Bridges' sound is the pinnacle of a young artist transmitting a dated sound and bringing it straight into the 21st century, with the final results nostalgic yet ultimately fresh and current."
