"Like a reincarnated Bob Seger track from the Eighties, "Ride Away" looks to heartland rock & roll for its cues. It's big, booming and a bit wild-sounding - a soundtrack for pool halls, roadhouses and open highways. When he climbs into his upper register during each chorus, the effect is Stapleton-sized"
