The album was generally received negatively among professional reviewers. Rolling Stone attributes the album's failure to a change in the group's style, calling the album "a poor man's Goo Goo Dolls". [7] Allmusic claims, "O.A.R. wasn't designed for Top 40 radio, which makes All Sides...disappointing." [8]
The album was the band's highest charting prior to the release of King, debuting at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 with approximately 33,000 copies sold in its first week. [9]
