The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the album "offers old-fashioned rock-and-roll with earnest, even patriotic principles that nonetheless rarely sounds strained or sentimental."[6] The Globe and Mail deemed the album "as unpretentious as rock can get while still maintaining its spark."[7] The Los Angeles Times noted that, "on paper, the lyrics look a bit corny, but the music and obvious passion lift them."[8] The New York Times determined that "the music has a newfound toughness, with clanging guitars and explosive drums."[9]
