Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five, writing that "not one song is undeniable, the kind that works into the subconscious, but that doesn't really matter, as this is just breezy fun, a collection of cheerful drinking songs that never threaten to careen out of control."[ 1]
The album sold 150,000 copies in its first week of release, becoming Bryan's first number one album on the Billboard 200 chart.[ 5] The album has sold 605,000 copies in the US as of May 2015.[ 6]
