The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that One Man Mutiny "contains riff-driven rockers, a couple of tunes with a countryish bent, and quieter moments that recall Replacements leader Paul Westerberg at his most reflective and openhearted." [11] The Boston Globe noted the "loose-limbed, Stones-y rave-ups." [17] The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette deemed the album a "gritty set that has some nice slide guitar action." [15]
NPR praised "Stinson's amiable rasp and keen ear for melody." [18] Cincinnati CityBeat called the album "raw and elemental Stonesy rock with twangy overtones, circa Exile on Main Street." [19] The Long Island Press considered "Match Made in Hell" to be "a tongue-in-cheek odd couple ditty with a luau vibe." [16] Spin labeled One Man Mutiny "a homespun collection of crystalline guitar-pop and confessional balladry." [20]

The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979. Initially a punk band, they are one of the main pioneers of alternative rock.

A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012. Fans affectionately refer to the band as The 'Mats, a nickname that originated as a truncation of "The Placemats," a mispronunciation of their name.

For Sale: Live at Maxwell's 1986 is a 2017 live album by the American alternative rock band The Replacements. Recorded at the famous Maxwell's at the height of the band's commercial and creative arc, it is one of the few good recordings of their live performances. The band's only previous live album—1985's The Shit Hits the Fans—was a limited cassette tape release which features poor audio quality and several false starts and stops on songs. In 2007, bassist Tommy Stinson stated that "There are no good Replacements live recordings", in part due to a lack of high-quality recordings and in part due to the band's notoriously sloppy performances due to alcohol abuse. The album was produced by Bob Mehr, who wrote the 2016 biography of the band Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements.
