Critical reception

Pitchfork 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." The Record praised Cantrell's "winning urban honky-tonk-angel sensibility."{{cite news |last1=DeLuca |first1=Dan |title=QUICK SPINS |work=The Record |date=19 Jan 2001 |location=LIFESTYLE / PREVIEWS |page=33}}

Shortly after its release, John Peel named the album as possibly one of the favorites of his life.{{Cite web|url=https://magnetmagazine.com/2014/01/27/laura-cantrell-forward-progress/|title=Laura Cantrell: Forward Progress|date=January 27, 2014}}
