Right Between the Promises is the sixth studio album by singer-songwriter Freedy Johnston. It was released in 2001 on Elektra Records.
AllMusic's Kenneth Bays describes the album as "simultaneously the flip side of, and a companion piece to, 1999's Blue Days Black Nights. Where that album's songs flowed with an ominous energy barely concealed by the moody, hushed tones of their surface, Promises forces those same emotions out into the light." Resulting in "[s]mart, darkly ambiguous songs that nevertheless seem built for high-volume, summertime play." Concluding "Right Between the Promises may not be as richly nuanced as [Johnston's] very best work, but it's still a fine example of his idiosyncratic brand of intelligent, radio-friendly folk-rock."
Rolling Stone's James Hunter called the album "[c]omposed songs about being confused." Noting that Johnston "just sings his modestly fluid, sweet-toned tunes in a voice to match."
All songs written by Freedy Johnston, except where noted.
