Reception

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3 out of 5 stars, with critic Timothy Monger writing that "the band's formula remains intact as they deliver the gutsy three-part harmonies and foot-stomping folk-soul that have become their trademark" and speculates that this album is a misstep because the band "may settled a little too comfortably into their initial level of success and settled for keeping the machine running". Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter scored this release 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing that the band is more focused on this release and producer Dave Cobb "plays to the band’s strengths". Stephen Thompson of NPR's First Listen wrote that this release "capture the group's earnest, agreeable charm, dispensed via songs that amble and soar" and that it comes "stacked with charisma-drenched ringers".
