Reviews

laut.de certifies that the album has developed from a primitive macho to a musical, primitive macho. As a result, "Rock N Roll Jesus" is quite tolerable . Pooltrax.com gives the album a positive conclusion: Kid Rock mixes the blues with the rock, spices it up a bit with country, sounds here and there like Aerosmith and yet in no way repeats itself from song to song. "Rock N Roll Jesus" is a solid piece of rock and roll . Allmusic.com awarded 2.5 stars out of 5.
