Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.82
3 stars out of 5 -- "Young was right to close with 'The Way,' a gloriously simplistic salvation song backed by a children's chorus that deserves to become his 'Give Peace a Chance.'"
Spin - p.128
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] record that's just like he used to make -- distorto riffs for their own sake and quasi roots rock with a tangible sense of loss and hope."
Entertainment Weekly - p.p.125
"[A] nifty exercise in extreme dynamics....It's an album inclusive enough for both 'Dirty Old Man,' a garage-rock sinner's rant, and 'The Way,' a beautiful minor-key hymn..."
Uncut - p.119
4 stars out of 5 -- "The album is powerful exploration of faith, with Young circling his own mortality. He does it quietly and noisily."
No Depression - p.93
"It's hard to remember a Young release that has been as thematically cohesive yet as musically diverse as CHROME DREAMS II."
Q (Magazine) - p.113
4 stars out of 5 -- "'Ordinary People' dates from Young's one-off venture with the Bluenotes...It's an epic, free-ranging rant on behalf of the common man...It's an absolute monster."
Q (Magazine) - p.76
Ranked #33 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "A definite return to ragged glory."
Blender (Magazine) - p.155
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Young's Les Paul erupts, horns not to Springsteen Americana; it all recalls vintage mid-'70s Young LPs..."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.99
3 stars out of 5 -- "The HARVEST-like 'Beautiful Bluebird' opens, beautifully simplistic like Young's best childlike ballads."
