Critical reception

Adam Gold of Rolling Stone wrote that "Brown and his band" "never shy away from taking risks and don't back down from broadening an already exceedingly eclectic sonic palette." With all the new tricks up Zac Brown Band's sleeve, Gold felt like Brown "wasn't fully convinced" that they "were working yet." [5]
