Critical reception

AllMusic described the album as "party-starting, beer-drinking anthems and hangdog breakup ballads" that strike "the sweet spot between Southern rock and bro-country with amiable precision. Laura Cooney of Entertainment Focus praised Adcock's gravelly drawl, varied influences, and standout tracks like "Back to This Bar," "Four Leaf Clover," and "Wake Up With You," but noted that the record felt "too heavily weighted towards the back end" and could benefit from trimming.

Commercial performance Ahead of the album's release, "A Cigarette" surpassed 70 million US on-demand streams and 500,000 unit equivalents. Other singles, including "Four Leaf Clover" and "Sober", became streaming successes.

Track listing All tracks written or co-written by Adcock with additional co-writers listed.
