Jul 9, 2026While Frozen Charlotte is fun, and rarely feels laboured, it can be a lot. Unlike No Name, there is little stylistic variance between songs, and by the time you reach She’s in a Frenzy, you start to wonder if the album has simply looped back to the start, and you’re listening to the same overdriven guitar solos and sneery punk-rap from earlier.

Jul 9, 2026More polished than No Name and even more intense. .... White breaks new ground while still recalling his blues-rock roots on the wildly successful Frozen Charlotte.
-
Jul 8, 2026Offers up his most consistently bluesy offering since the early 2000s. Frozen Charlotte is a continuation of the streamlined rippers of 2024's No Name, although there's nothing here as straightforwardly catchy as "That's How I'm Feeling."

Jul 7, 2026White’s Frozen Charlotte is a love letter to his favorite instrument, play time with a friend. And despite — or perhaps because of — this shift in emphasis away from lyrics and towards guitar, it has never been easier to see the real man inside the icon.

Jul 7, 2026Frozen Charlotte is very much a guitar record – and one that is less inviting, at least on initial plays, than No Name. Stick with it, though, and it reveals its many charms and wonders.

Jul 7, 2026For all the nods to his heroes, the record remains unmistakably his own: restless, argumentative, funny and just a little unhinged. .... It’s a hell of a ride.
