Down Home Sessions II is the second extended play album from American country music artist Cole Swindell. The album includes five tracks, all co-written by Swindell.
Mark Deming of AllMusic rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, saying that Swindell "sings five more songs of good times, good music, beautiful women, cold beer, and broken hearts, accompanied by uptempo arrangements and polished production that bridge the gap between the worlds of country and pop." [2] Nash Country Weekly reviewer Jon Freeman was less favorable, saying that "His music, tuneful as it is, often feels precisely calibrated for a certain lifestyle segment as if it’s a soft drink or a friendly fast food chain", ultimately giving the album a "C". [3] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Should've Ran After You" at number eight on his top 10 list of Swindell's best songs. [4]
