Album Review: Jonas Brothers – Greetings From Your Hometown

Article by Rebecca McDevitt

Back to Where It All Began

With Greetings From Your Hometown, the Jonas Brothers are asking us to slow down, take a breath, and remember where it all began. This record strips away the excess and brings it back to the basics—their harmonies. And honestly? That’s exactly what we’ve been waiting for. Nostalgia runs through every track, but it’s not just a throwback—it’s their classic pop sound layered with grooves that feel straight out of the 70s.

Twenty Years, Full Circle

The timing couldn’t be better. Twenty years into their career, the Jonas Brothers are celebrating not just longevity, but the bond that’s kept them grounded. Between kicking off a tour in their home state of New Jersey, prepping for A Very Jonas Christmas on Disney+, and dropping songs that are literally everywhere (from Disneyland’s 70th anniversary to ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball), the guys are making it clear: they’re not slowing down.

Let’s be real, after the mixed response to The Album in 2023, some fans weren’t sure if the JoBros could win us back. But songs like “Tables” and “When You Know” feel like they’ve been pulled right out of 2007, reminding us why we fell in love with them in the first place.

Collabs That Hit Different

And the collabs? Perfection. Dean Lewis joins them on the piano ballad “Loved You Better,” which hits straight in the feels. Switchfoot steps in for the title track, while tour mate Marshmello brings his signature touch to “Slow Motion.” It’s a lineup that proves the Jonas Brothers aren’t afraid to experiment while keeping their sound intact.

The real heart of the album, though, comes with “Lucky.” It’s a gentle reminder that even when life leaves scars, healing is possible. The lyrics are soft, hopeful, and so personal that it feels like they’re speaking directly to anyone who’s ever needed a reason to keep going.

Why It Matters

Greetings From Your Hometown isn’t just another Jonas Brothers album, it’s a love letter to the fans who’ve been there since day one, and proof that twenty years in, they still know how to hit us right where it matters.

And if you think it sounds good on the record, just wait until you hear it live. The Jonas Brothers are on tour now, and trust us, you’re going to want to be in the crowd for this one.
