Acclaim For “Let’s Rock”:

“This is an album by the Black Keys called “Let’s Rock.” That's what it does.”
-Pitchfork
“Singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney bring a heightened purism too, emphasizing the power-duo force of their early records”
-Rolling Stone

“In an era of blatantly computerized pop, ‘Let’s Rock’ flaunts basics from yesteryear: guitars, drums, vocals.”
-New York Times

“The Black Keys are rock royalty and to the relief of many, they aren’t quite ready to relinquish their reign.” 
-Associated Press

“The Black Keys have mastered the form of guitar-based music, and the craft at work on these dozen songs is something to behold.” 
-Wall Street Journal

“A fast, fun slice of blues-rock … A return to what The Black Keys do best.  These songs are tightly focused, their pleasures immediate … Brilliant.”
