AllMusic rated the album two-and-a-half stars out of five, saying "his attitude gets in his way, his party-hearty quips never jibing with his marshmallow music".[1] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Uncle Kracker's always believed in the power of positive thinking (or at least in the power of a case of
Coors Light), so there's little here that hints at his recent troubles. Instead, you get smarmy frat-country jams about taking a seat at the corner bar and discovering that your girlfriend has a girlfriend now. On "Livin’ the Dream", he even comforts himself by quoting
Whitesnake".[2]
