Out of touch? Not according to this review:

"Now doesn’t just restore Shania’s voice and offer up valuable space to work through her pain and catch us up to the latest details of her journey. It expands her pop-country sound into new territories and gives her last album — and frankly, quite a few modern-day country and pop stars’ latest offerings — a run for its livelihood. Shania feels like a contemporary figure after the 15-year break between this and her last full-length album, and she pulled it off without relying on flashy big-name duets or kowtowing much to current dance-music trends. Sheer audacity makes Now one of the year’s most daring releases on the pop spectrum. Warmth and perseverance make it one of the best."

Pitchfork gave it a positive review:

 

"This album deserves more, if only because it successfully conveys Twain’s one immutable strength: her personality. Her space in our collective cultural memory has as much to do with her character—her pluck, her unpretentious elegance, her genial nature—as her melodies or stomping arrangements. Even after tens of millions of albums sold and a decade-plus out of the spotlight, she still feels a little like your daffy aunt: ready for a campfire singalong, quick with a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and overeager with an exclamation mark. Time can’t take that away; trauma can’t take it away, either.

@DiscoHeaven23  Can you add the positive reviews to the OP as well, or are you ignoring them for a reason?
