Gregory Robson, referencing in a seven out of ten review from AbsolutePunk, declares, "If Just Kids proves anything, it is that Kearney is still crafting albums that are unrelenting in their charisma." In a four star review by CCM Magazine, Matt Conner states, "Kearney's new album is just as irresistibly hypnotic as previous releases... but Kearney's seasoned status gives Just Kids a more substantive feel." Jessica Morris, awarding the album 4.9 out of five stars at FDRMX, writes, "Cool and fun, yet insightful and honest, Just Kids is everything we could have hoped for and more."

Timothy Estabrooks, indicating in a four star review for Jesus Freak Hideout, recognizes, "Just Kids [is] an excellent example of a pop album done the right way". Signaling in a four and a half star review from New Release Tuesday, responds, "Mat Kearney delivers nostalgia perfection on Just Kids." Ian Zandi, mentioning in a three star review by Indie Vision Music, grasps, how he "truly believe[s] that this is not the solid record that many think it to be. It is not a bad piece of work by any means, but I am going to call it what it is. A so-so record." Delivering a perfect ten review from Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings regards it as a release he'll be, "playing for years to come."

Joshua Andre, awarding the album four stars at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes he, "found some gems and treasures in unexpected places." Awarding the album four stars by CM Addict, Jon Ownbey says, "JUST KIDS is a feel good album that is emotionally upbeat and flows well." Jono Davies, rating the album four stars at Louder Than the Music, writes, "If you're looking for positive, happy, melodic, modern mainstream music then this is worth a purchase." Writing a review for Christian Review Magazine, Leah St. John rating the album four and a half stars, states, "Mat Kearney has crafted a great album, which makes for an enjoyable listen."
