Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote that "if accompanying album isn't quite up to its standards, it's nevertheless the work of an accomplished writer who knows how to sculpt a song for a wide audience. If Buy Me a Boat can be faulted, it's because its diversity often plays like a demo tape, with Janson crafting songs for any possible contemporary country audience."

Commercial performance

The album debuted at No. 4 on the Top Country Albums chart, and No. 18 on the Billboard 200, selling 18,536 copies in its first week. The album has sold 117,100 copies in the US as of March 2017.
