Writing for Classic Rock, Chris Lord noted that "Buckcherry are certainly showing no signs of decline, and Roar Like Thunder is as rollickingly focused as they've ever sounded," giving it a four-star rating.[7]
Blabbermouth assigned the album a rating of eight out of ten, describing it as "full of songs with real character and a clear desire to lift spirits" and noting it "wipes the floor with most of the competition."[6]
Steve Beebee of Kerrang! stated, "Taken for what it is, a retro-flavoured sleaze rock album, Roar Like Thunder hits the mark. But it's an echo from an era in rock that ain't ever coming back," giving it a rating of two out of five.[1]
