AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave praise to Keith's talents as a singer-songwriter, noting his storytelling abilities on the record's two covers and his exploration of both his sensitive and partying sides on "Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya" as "remarkably affecting", concluding with "And that's the real secret to Keith's success: underneath all the bragging he's a songwriter and a damn good one at that, which this lean, sinewy, stripped-to-the-basics record makes clear."[4] Kathi Kamen Goldmark of Common Sense Media praised the musicianship and discussions of social class and wealth in America throughout the album but found criticism in some tracks containing alcohol debauchery and saccharine sentiment, concluding that Keith is "a man who's not afraid to be himself -- someone who knows his way around both small-town America and a musical hook, and isn't afraid to use it."[6] Entertainment Weekly writer Ken Tucker praised Keith for delivering "artistic sincerity" and clever delivery and wordplay throughout the track listing, concluding that "All of this suggests Keith understands that beyond its default mode of rowdiness, country music is the soundtrack for adulthood, its pleasures as well as its disillusionments."[7]
