UncutDec 11, 2024More surprising, perhaps, is the gorgeous, toe-tapping soul-pop of “Step Into Your Power”, which brings to mind Matthew E White and may just be the best song Lamontagne has written since 2004’s “Trouble”. [Sep 2024, p.36]

Dec 11, 2024While the aural tour of influences here is mostly a good thing, there are a few of songs that seem to pull down the record at times – even at just nine tracks; “The Way Things Are” just sounds maudlin, and “La De Da, La De Dum” and the instrumental “So, Damned, Blue” sound more like filler tracks. That being said, there are more than enough tracks here that are bound to satisfy long-time LaMontagne fans.

Dec 11, 2024Even though there are no musical elements worthy to hold on to in Long Way Home, LaMontagne evokes sentimental feelings of authenticity. The record may bore you with its stable and at times, underwhelming nature, but I am of the belief that we need more artists that will reconnect us to slowness.

MojoDec 11, 2024Though it’s not the recluse’s reverie that was 2020’s fine single-hander Monovision, Long Way Home also feels somewhat introverted. [Sep 2024, p.86]
