Critical Response

"His minimalist approach to folk music is just simplistic enough to work, and his good boy voice with the cynical lyrics are what he's famous for."—Andrew Kotick, Sputnikmusic⁵

"This is the point where Dylan eclipses any conventional sense of folk and rewrites the rules of rock, making it safe for personal expression and poetry, not only making words mean as much as the music, but making the music an extension of the words."—Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic⁶

"Bringing It All Back Home combines blues, folk, introspection, politics, humour, poetry, a very tight band, vivid characterisations, and originality."—Mike Short, The Gig Reviewer⁷
