Apr 14, 2025The album sounds fresh and contemporary even as it reaches for, and strikingly captures, classic country vibes. Baker and Scott sound fantastic singing together, with Baker’s peeling bell of a voice sitting perfectly alongside Scott’s husky alto.
-
Apr 18, 2025A warm and inclusive record.

Apr 14, 2025TORRES and Baker don't fully escape the influence of their strong indie milieus, but that's part of what makes Send a Prayer My Way so special: it feels a little folky, a little Americana, and a lot country.

Apr 18, 2025As they reclaim the sounds of their roots on Send a Prayer My Way, Baker and Torres bring out the best in each others' music.

Apr 17, 2025There are a few tumbleweeds in the bunch (“Dirt” is curiously overlong to begin the record; “Showdown” fails to make much of an impression), but this is about as good a curiosity that I would imagine a Julien Baker and TORRES country spinoff to be. It’s evocative, heartfelt fun.

UncutApr 14, 2025"Dirt" and gentle gut-wrencher "Showdown", on which Baker takes vocal lead, boast the same sparse, clear-eyed lyricism of her 2021 album Little Oblivions, while Scott's earthy alto is the perfect foil, whether campfire storyteller or wisecracking sidekick. [Apr 2025, p.27]
-
MojoApr 14, 2025A gentle, spartan album overflowing with straight-forward songs and harmony vocals, which evoke Emmylou Harris as much as Margo Price. [May 2025, p.87]
