AllMusic editor John Bush noted that Jones has "always chosen collaborators who can pinpoint how his classic sound would work in a contemporary context. Here, it's a pounding and drum-heavy production that still allows room for organic touches (blazing horns, stinging brass, twanging guitars). The quality of the songs is high, and most are kept in-house, so they match his persona well." [1] Jude Rogers from The Guardian found thath 24 Hours "is an effective piece of Johnny Cash-lite about a man on death row. The final breaths of this character may close the album, but Jones's belly-deep bellow abides." [2] Rogers' colleague, Observer critic Johnny Davis, wrote: "Jones bares his inner songwriter to Lily Allen producers Future Cut. Reflections on love, life and 'the wife' abound as horns parp Ronson-ly. But only Sixties cover "I'm Alive" soars." [3]
In the United Kingdom, 24 Hours reached Gold status on 9 January 2009. [4]
