Initial

Upon its release, Mavericks received a very favorable review from Ira Robbins, who wrote in Entertainment Weekly that the album "resonates with emotional power." Robbins gave the album an A grade. A more mixed review appeared in the Chicago Tribune, where Mark Caro gave the album 2.5 stars out of 4 and wrote that "A few of the songs sit there like pudding on a plate, but others... seep in over time."

Retrospective

Holsapple told Magnet in 2009 that people often told him they thought Mavericks was "beautiful".
