Critical reception for the album was generally favorable, as evidenced by its score of 79, based on 21 reviews, at Metacritic, a website that assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics.[2] Many appreciated the band's punk- and garage rock-influenced revival of the southern rock genre, with NME hailing the album among the "best debuts of the past 10 years". AllMusic claimed the album was not "sonically adventurous", but that "in the new-millennium pop realm, some greasy licks sure sound good".[3] James Hunter of The Village Voice called the album "2003's finest rock debut", saying the band had built on its first EP.[14] Greg Kot wrote a favorable review in Rolling Stone, in which he declared that the band knew "when to lay back and let things simmer", as well as "when to jump up and testify with tambourines banging".[10] At the end of the year, Rolling Stone critics named the album the tenth-best of 2003[15] and NME named it the seventh best.[16] Later, it was ranked at number 80 in Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums of the Decade list[17] and included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[18]

The album peaked at number 3 in the United Kingdom, but fared worse in the band's homeland, where it peaked outside the top hundred. The band's popularity spiked in Australia during the weeks of September 22 and 29, 2008, when all four of their studio albums were in the top 50 on the charts. With this, Youth and Young Manhood made its first top 50 chart appearance since its release in 2003, peaking at number 46.
