Sep 24, 2025This is not an album meant to prove any sense of prowess; it is a quiet collection of songs from an artist looking to understand himself better.

UncutSep 24, 2025Baby Man is an impressive display of unfettered emotionality, but you may miss Johnson's usual luminous band arrangements and bass-driven grooves. [Oct 2025, p.27]
