The Washington Post stated: "As a songwriter, Hancock simply recycles the two-step rhythms, three-chord changes, 12-bar blues, four-lane highways and two-women troubles of his favorite old records. He invests this ordinary material with exceptional life, however, thanks to the irresistible vitality of his vocals." [6] The Los Angeles Times thought that the album "may be edgy, but it's the edginess of a guy having a good time playing music that's all the more fun because it is so out of step with the mannerly country music of current fashion." [11]

AllMusic wrote that "retro is perfectly fine when it's done as well as this." [10]
