AMG Review of Big Time

Thom Owens
All Music Guide

While Trace Adkins' second album, Big Time, isn't as consistently strong as his debut, Dreamin' Out Loud, it nevertheless establishes him as a vocal talent. There are moments where the songwriting rings a little flat, but the best cuts on Big Time, such as the single "The Rest of Mine," are well-crafted contemporary country showcasing his booming baritone to fine effect.
