Blake Shelton, If I’m Honest

[Warner Bros]

Metascore: 58

No one seemed to get real excited about Blake Shelton’s If I’m Honest.  With just five reviews featured on Metacritic, none awarded Shelton higher than a 60.  Interestingly, If I’m Honest was the subject of a previous article about receiving mixed reviews, published via Starpulse. The worst burn that Shelton receives comes by way of Entertainment Weekly who ask, “So why does it end up seeming about as weighty and true as a reality show? For one thing, Shelton’s voice lacks the kind of emotional depth that’d bring a listener to tears.” Phew!

On our end, we skipped reviewing Shelton’s album.
