USA Today opined that "its bluesy orientation unfortunately downplays Jimmy Vaughan's [sic] guitar."[14] The Los Angeles Times determined that "the general familiarity of this record ... will probably appeal more to the band's new fans than to the old faithful."[10] The Kingston Whig-Standard wrote that "Kim Wilson doesn't so much sing with the band as it sings behind him; the result is a less spirited and thinner sound."[15] The Toronto Star deemed the album "sweaty, grimy, bar-room rock 'n' soul."[16] The New York Times tied "Streets of Gold" to 1980s heartland rock songs about socioeconomic issues.[17]
