ROCKMAKER currently has a score of 69 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on six critics' reviews, indicating a "generally favorable" reception. Uncut commented that "ROCKMAKER{{'}}s rude vigour and bounty of hooks will reassure the faithful, as should the ample supply of snark from Courtney Taylor-Taylor". Reviewing the album for Clash, Susan Hansen wrote that the album "does not dishearten. ROCKMAKER is heavy yet melodic, making use of wah-wah guitar pedalling and overriding fuzz, a mind unwaveringly set on hippy psych".

Raul Stanciu of Sputnikmusic felt that ROCKMAKER "breathes new life into the machine. Somehow it feels like a cold shower, displaying a considerable dose of cynicism amid meatier hooks" and that the band "seemed more eager to develop the songs rather than creating a mood with minimal contributions and letting it brood". John Murphy of MusicOMH remarked that "while there are no big surprises [...] most of the tracks on the album are as instantly addictive as in their heyday", concluding that "although they may never re-create their '90s heyday, still know how to rock with the best of them".
