The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that One Man Mutiny "contains riff-driven rockers, a couple of tunes with a countryish bent, and quieter moments that recall Replacements leader Paul Westerberg at his most reflective and openhearted."{{cite news |last1=Christiano |first1=Nick |title=The irreplaceable Tommy Stinson |work=The Philadelphia Inquirer |date=12 Aug 2011 |page=W13}} The Boston Globe noted the "loose-limbed, Stones-y rave-ups."{{cite news |last1=Rodman |first1=Sarah |title=One man on Guns, Replacements |work=The Boston Globe |date=25 Nov 2011 |page=G25}} The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette deemed the album a "gritty set that has some nice slide guitar action."
NPR praised "Stinson's amiable rasp and keen ear for melody."{{cite web |last1=Bracy |first1=Timothy |title=Tommy Stinson: A Bruised Lifer Returns |url=https://www.npr.org/2011/12/20/143991559/tommy-stinson-a-bruised-lifer-returns |website=NPR |access-date=25 February 2023}} Cincinnati CityBeat called the album "raw and elemental Stonesy rock with twangy overtones, circa Exile on Main Street."{{cite news |last1=Baker |first1=Brian |title=Tommy Gets His Ya-Ya's Out |work=Cincinnati CityBeat |date=November 30, 2011 |department=Music}} The Long Island Press considered "Match Made in Hell" to be "a tongue-in-cheek odd couple ditty with a luau vibe." Spin labeled One Man Mutiny "a homespun collection of crystalline guitar-pop and confessional balladry."{{cite journal |last1=Mehr |first1=Bob |title=Tough Questions for Tommy Stinson |journal=Spin |date=Sep 2011 |volume=27 |issue=8 |page=34}}
