Jack Walters of PopMatters assigned the album a rating of nine, remarking "Despite different songwriters, All the Right Weaknesses, unlike its cover art, does not feel like a patchwork of songs. Instead, it's cohesive with tracks that, through magic-realism imagery, ask the most existential question: what does it mean to be human?" [2]
In a four-star review for Mojo , Andy Fyfe opined, "their quietly grungy country rock has opened up, Allthe Right Weaknesses riding a deep and easy inner groove where the debut sometimes hesitated to cut loose, landing on a loose-limbed Waterboys-meets-Crazy Horse energy." [1] The album received a 4.5-star rating from Uncut reviewer Michael Bonner, who observed, "Thematically too, these songs all feel connected. The disparity between fiction and reality is a common thread. Other songs seem caught in a form of psychic interspace, a place of dark visions and fever dreams, hovering between something unspoken yet ominous." [4]
