Critical reception

Pitchfork wrote: "Although not a flawless album, Not the Tremblin' Kind can still measure up pretty well to most of the revered alt-country releases of the last decade: albums such as Freakwater's Old Paint, the Blood Oranges' Corn River, and Victoria Williams' Loose." [4] The Record praised Cantrell's "winning urban honky-tonk-angel sensibility." [10]

Shortly after its release, John Peel named the album as possibly one of the favorites of his life. [11]
