Critical reception
editPitchfork wrote: "Although not a flawless album, Not the Tremblin' Kind can still measure up pretty well to most of the revered alt-country releases of the last decade: albums such as Freakwater's Old Paint, the Blood Oranges' Corn River, and Victoria Williams' Loose."[4] The Record praised Cantrell's "winning urban honky-tonk-angel sensibility."[10]
Shortly after its release, John Peel named the album as possibly one of the favorites of his life.[11]
