Background

David Coverdale stated that the band "put everything we had and more into making this album". U.S. musician Joel Hoekstra, who joined Whitesnake in 2015, co-wrote six of the album's tracks with Coverdale. As well, U.S. musician Reb Beach co-wrote five of the tracks.[1]

Classic Rock[4]

Philip Wilding of Classic Rock felt that listeners "hoping that the new Whitesnake album record will recall Coverdale's smoky, Lovehunter past should look away now", but for those that "want something to listen to while driving with the top down in some steamy Californian clime, then this Whitesnake is hard to beat".[4] Loudwire named it one of the 50 best rock albums of 2019.[5]
