  1. Billboard
    80
    Far more '70s-style easy rock than rap/rock bombast.

    They all sound like pop songs... yet they all feel like country songs. [Aug 2004, p.107]

    Kracker's voice is too banal--and his material too mundane--to cut as deeply as his rural heroes. [9 Jul 2004, p.88]

    Seventy Two & Sunny breezes by with the worst kinds of countrified clichés... sung by a guy who was never meant to carry a harmony.
  6. Village Voice
    40
    Confused rock and r&b conceits wander into onrushing 16-wheelers of c&w—barbershop quartet-ish background vox, crisp git-fiddle plucks, lyrics equal parts syrup and cheer. The tightrope he's walking is dental floss, but he still leans into every note.
  7. Rolling Stone
    40
    Country-crossover schmaltz.
  8. AllMusic
    40
    Largely absent of originality.
  9. Blender
    40
    Kracker's Southernisms feel a little rote and undigested. [Aug 2004, p.142]
