The gist
Americana UK 7/10 70 “A relatively short but most definitely sweet offering of hope from a nine-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. Sheryl Crow requires little or no introduction, either…”
Riff Magazine 7/10 70 “Sheryl Crow finds connection amid uncertainty on 'Pick You Up,' a warm, restless collection rooted in rock, Americana and empathy.”
PopMatters 6/10 60 “Sheryl Crow prioritizes compassion and connection in Pick You Up, her most political album to date.”
musicOMH 2.5/5 50 “Her latest offering may have lovely sentiments, but it sees her coast on autopilot, too MOR to make much impact Latest offering from American singer-songwriter may have lovely sentiments but…”

How the Breakdown works

Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
