Steve Leggett of AllMusic describes Justin Moore as having “a ready-made image. He was that good kid from a small town with a rowdy heart of gold who just happened to be able to sing about it.” He has said that he learned to write songs because, when he had first moved to Nashville, no songwriters wanted to offer him materially.
His first album received mixed reviews from music critics: Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic referred to it as “anonymous country-rock”, and Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time referred to Moore as a “poseur” for name-dropping. Engine 145’s Karlie Justus said that his influences were comparatively more authentic than most other acts on country radio, and Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that his music has “a heavy dose of southern, country charm and twang.”
