Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave a favorable review of the album, commenting that new singer Jeff Gutt "nails how [Weiland] could slide from a snarl to a sigh, conjuring a bit of a snaky sexuality while still seeming a bit safe." Erlewine also credited the DeLeo brothers for the album's sound, stating that "whether it's psychedelicized hard rock or candied melodies, the pair not only know how to construct melodies, they know how to showcase these hooks with layered productions that skirt the edge of being ornate" and that the album "shows they haven't lost their knack for hooky-heavy hard rock" and "certainly opens the door on another act in their career.
