The album received mixed to negative reviews, currently holding a score of 41 based on nine critics on Metacritic.{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/all-the-right-reasons |title=All The Right Reasons - Nickelback |website=Metacritic |access-date=September 22, 2011}} However, Entertainment Weekly explained the album's success this way: "What if Nickelback's decision to let the music speak for itself is, ironically, their biggest selling point of all?"{{cite magazine |url=http://www.ew.com/article/2007/10/01/nickelbacks-staying-power |title=Hard Rock Cachet |first=Whitney |last=Pastorek |date=October 1, 2007 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |issue=#956 |issn=1049-0434 |access-date=September 22, 2011 |archive-date=October 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021025308/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20057926,00.html |url-status=live }} Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times criticized the lyrical content of the album, referring to it as "another brash but sullen CD with more of the worst rock lyrics ever recorded."{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/03/arts/music/03choi.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&sq=nickelback%20all%20the%20right%20reasons&st=cse&scp=10|title=6 Years On, Wryly Dissecting Heartaches (Page 2)|last=Sanneh|first=Kelefa|author-link=Kelefa Sanneh|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 3, 2005|access-date=March 25, 2012}}

The album was the third straight No. 1 album for the band in their native Canada. It sold more than 60,000 copies in its first week, topping their previous number 1 albums Silver Side Up and The Long Road (selling 43,000 and 45,000 copies). The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 323,350 copies in its first week in the United States.{{cite web |url=http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/archcht.cgi?cht965 |title=Chart Date: 10/10/2005 |work=Previous Album Sales Chart |publisher=hitsdailydouble.com |access-date=September 22, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121206033750/http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/archcht.cgi?cht965 |archive-date=December 6, 2012 }} In the United States, the album to date has sold over 8 million copies and was found again inside the top 10 of the Billboard 200 in its 99th, 100th, 101st, and 102nd weeks on the chart. The album had never been below number 30 on the Billboard 200 in 110 weeks,{{cite web |url=http://acharts.us/album/14120 |title=Nickelback - All The Right Reasons |work=Music Charts |publisher=acharts.us |access-date=September 22, 2011}} making Nickelback the first act to have an album in the top 30 of the Billboard 200 for its first 100 weeks since Shania Twain's 1997 album Come On Over stayed in the top thirty for 123 consecutive weeks following its release.

In addition, the album has spawned five top-20 Hot 100 singles in the U.S.: "Photograph", "Savin' Me", "Far Away", "If Everyone Cared", and "Rockstar", making it one of only a handful of rock albums to ever produce five or more top-twenty U.S. hits. "Photograph", "Far Away", and "Rockstar" were all top ten singles on the Hot 100, making Nickelback the first rock band of the 2000s (decade) to have three top-ten hits from the same album.{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/chart_beat/bonus.jsp|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070826143606/http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/chart_beat/bonus.jsp|url-status=dead|title=Breaking Music News - Music Business Information - Music Industry Sales|magazine=Billboard |archive-date=August 26, 2007|access-date=December 20, 2021}}

In the UK, the album opened its chart run at number 13 before quickly leaving the top 75 with no top 20 singles, with "Savin' Me" being their first to miss the top 75 altogether. While being the band's smallest-selling UK album since Curb, it experienced, in early 2008, a resurrection due to the single "Rockstar" becoming Nickelback's highest-charting single ever in the UK. The album has now outpeaked its previous peak of number 13, reaching number 2 and has since been certified Platinum.{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/page/News?&news_page=&news_id=51817 |title=Congratulations Nickelback |date=February 22, 2008 |publisher=roadrunnerrecords.co.uk |access-date=September 22, 2011}}
