Rolling Stone
Perhaps the need to fend off such a fate – with a glance back to Richard Manuel’s suicide – forced Clapton to reach deep inside and prove something. Unless Clapton urges himself to those depths more often, August could be the prelude to a fall that offers remembered heat as its only consolation. […]

Blogcritics
August may be a product of the eighties, but it is good eighties. It remains a good effort by one of rock music’s guitar gods. […]

Ultimate-Guitar.com
“August” is a funny album in that it failed to generate any massive hits despite being one of Claptons biggest sellersand it is undeniably loaded with decent hooks. The songs go together as a body of work, you can listen to it easily without track skipping. […]
