The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Matthew Chisling from AllMusic labelled the album "almost as good" as Broken & Beautiful, explaining that in spite of Rock-n-Roller being generally "quite excellent", "the repetitiveness of some tracks limits their overall quality."^[1] The staff of Metro Canada gave a more negative review, describing the material as "sterile" and "so L.A." Ranking the album two stars out of five, the newspaper remarked that "this should be the kind of music that never goes out of style [...] But it only works if you have something new and special to offer."^[3]
