American Songwriter 's Hal Horowitz gave The Happiest Man in the World 3.5 out of 4 stars, describing it as "a powerful and revealing introduction to a guy whose full talents can only be experienced in concerts where he really lets loose". [2] Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote, "As Joe Strummer told us, anger can be power, and Hamell on Trial still has a full tank of the stuff cut with some snarky but potent humor, and it fuels The Happiest Man in the World very well indeed."
