Eric R. Danton wrote in his Hartford Courant blog, Sound Check: "Call it a guilty pleasure, but I've always had a soft spot for Bob Seger's ballads. … [H]is songs are honest, and he's such an unassuming, low-key guy that I can't help but root for him. It's no coincidence that his biggest hits have been the slower tunes. … I've always liked 'Night Moves' or 'Mainstreet' or 'Against the Wind.' Who hasn't felt the burn of young, stupid love? Who hasn't looked back on it half-fondly, half-ruefully? 'Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then,' he sings on 'Against the Wind.' Who hasn't felt that way once or twice? Seger's new album, 'Face The Promise,' is his first in 11 years. It's a solid record — workmanlike, in Seger's earnest, blue-collar, Heartland way. And I wasn't at all su[r]prised to find I liked the ballads best" ("The Ballads of Bob Seger," 9/12/06).
