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." 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."

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