The first single from My Kinda Party is the title track, which debuted on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart at number 41.

"My Kinda Party" was written and originally recorded by country rock artist Brantley Gilbert for his 2009 album Modern Day Prodigal Son.

The second single "Don't You Wanna Stay", a duet with pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson, debuted on the country charts from unsolicited airplay at number 59 for the week of November 20, 2010.

"Don't You Wanna Stay" became Aldean's fifth number one hit on the Hot Country Songs chart, the week ending March 12, 2011.

The third single is the country rap-themed "Dirt Road Anthem", which was previously recorded separately by both of its writers, Brantley Gilbert and Colt Ford.

It debuted as an album cut on the Hot Country Songs chart from unsolicited airplay at number 57 for the week ending February 5, 2011.

[11] Michael McCall with the Associated Press lauded Aldean for his "fresh sound" on the album, saying that he "stands at the forefront of a movement combining country themes with hard-rock chords".

[16] Giving it a 3+1⁄2 rating, Steve Leggett of Allmusic said that the album had "impressive sonic consistency" and "songs that fit his voice".

[14] Allison Stewart with The Washington Post gave the album a mixed review, saying "Party is likable but Nashville boilerplate; Every other track will sound familiar, even if it's the first time you've heard it".

[17] Mario Tarradell with The Dallas Morning News gave it a C grade, referring to the material as "a vast array of standard, clichéd country-rock".
