I don't have the album, but the LA Times gave it a positive review.
Summary/Paraphrase: The lyrics are so carefully crafted as to avoid the cliche that they are sometimes too sparse (?); however, the strength of the music makes it all work. IIRC, it received three out of four stars.
More importantly, Elvis has shifted musical gears again, and this is not a continuation of the music the made him initially famous and which he revisited with last year's album - this is something different. Unfortunately, I do not remember the reviewer's description of the type of music Elvis is exploring this time around.
