[3] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that "even when the material is familiar, Jones inarguably finds something very much her own in this material" and that the music "feels richly Southern in its comfortably laid back but impassioned tone and in the loose precision of the arrangements".

[4] In Glide Magazine, Matthew Barton writing that this album synthesizes Jones' previous covers releases and "Kicks seem to take its lead from all of these records, but perhaps more than any of them it seems to sit more snugly alongside Jones’ own material".

[5] Will Hodgkinson of The Times rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it an "appealingly lived-in set of covers" where "she sounds more effortlessly cool than ever".
