[10] Its title track won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year and Best American Roots Song and lead single "Made Up Mind" won Best Americana Performance.

On AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "The blend of rock, blues, soul, reggae, folk, and pop that fuels Just Like That – her 18th album and first since 2016's Dig In Deep – is deeply familiar, evoking memories of her classic 1970s LPs while sounding of a piece with such relaxed latter-day records as Slipstream... It all adds up to an album that slowly works its way into the subconscious, sounding deeper and richer with each successive play." [14]
Music critic Robert Christgau ranked Just Like That… at number 39 on his "Dean's List" of the best albums of 2022. [15]
