Critical reception
Melissa Ruggieri of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said, "If you loved their perfectly pleasant bar tunes back then, you'll appreciate that this is a well-produced nostalgic romp featuring a setlist stacked with singalongs, an effective stage show (sharp lighting, major video screen action) and a band that sounds record perfect." Billboard positively reviewed the band's performance in Nashville, praising Sonefeld's drumming, their cover of "Losing My Religion", the fusion of country and rock, and pairing with Barenaked Ladies. Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times gave the band's Troubador show a positive review and praised both their musicianship and how happy they made the crowd. ==Opening act==
