Perspective
Leftover Feelings was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 84, based on five reviews.[14]
AllMusic's Mark Deming writes "Leftover Feelings isn't "John Hiatt's Acoustic Album," it's a solid and rewarding set of songs that sounds a bit different than usual, but finds him working with some excellent and simpatico musicians who understand his craft and play into the feel of Hiatt's material."[19] Jim Hynes of Glide Magazine calls the album Hiatt's best since 2008's Same Old Man.[20] Lee Zimmermann of American Songwriter says that the album "doesn’t take either artist beyond their respective comfort zones," adding "it is an outstanding album nevertheless, simply because it’s everything one would expect from a collaboration between the two. Above all, it succeeds in eliciting emotion, which is, by definition, the standard upon which most memorable music is judged."[21]
