Editorial Review:
Though it might not be fair to say that Toby Keith has mellowed, he has definitely matured. Rather than taking political potshots, he exchanges bully-boy bluster for a tone of wry bemusement on "Big Blue Note" and "She Left Me," tempering middle-aged pride with a confession that the years have taken their toll on "As Good as I Once Was." After flexing his muscles with the album-opening title track, which sets Keith's musical autobiography to the trademark lope of Waylon Jennings, he showcases the subtler side of his vocal artistry on "She Ain't Hooked on Me No More"--a duet with Merle Haggard--and "Knock Yourself Out," while turning almost tender on "Your Smile" and "Where You Gonna Go." For those who miss the old Toby, there's "Just the Guy to Do It," which proceeds from one of the cheesiest pickup lines ever ("Do blondes really have more fun/Or are they just easier to spot in the dark?") into promises to punch out an errant boyfriend. Yet even this song has more of a Caribbean lilt than the macho swagger of Keith's younger days. --Don McLeese

Honkytonk University Reviews:
classic Toby 
2009-10-21 - This is Toby at his best. Lots of great songs which showcase his talents. I have many of his cd's and this has unknown songs which can certainly break the country top 20. Highly recommended.
Music 
2008-12-15 - Not as good as I hoped. I was mainly puchasing it for the song Walk Back To Me and I was not impressed with the rest of the songs.
Toby Keith is a great artist 
2008-09-20 - I have enjoyed Toby Keith's music for at least 12 year, maybe more. He sings wonderful songs with a lot of feeling whether it is a slow ballard or an upbeat song. I really liked all the songs on this CD and enjoy all of his work.
I Love this CD!
2007-12-28 - Honkytonk University has some of the best Toby Keith songs ever written. There is just something about Honkytonk U that hits the heart. Each and every song makes a connection, whether it be a tearful goodbye or a cheerful boot out the back door, and each time I listen to it the familiar emotions it stirs are always there.
I became a Toby Keith fan because I've felt like he writes from the soul on so many of his songs, and this CD is just another testament to that truth.
Classic Country
2007-08-23 - He has done it again. What talent. This is a must.
Great songs from a great songwriter!
