Seventy Two and Sunny is Uncle Kracker's third studio album, released on Lava Records on June 29, 2004.

[3] Among the positive reviews is Chuck Kosterman's take in Spin Magazine, where he writes "You’d have to work pretty hard not to like these songs, though I’m sure some people will try", a reference to the fact that Uncle Kracker was never a critic's darling, despite his record sales.

[8] In a review AllMusic, John Luerssen noted the album is "largely absent of originality", while going on to say "like the bulk of Uncle Kracker's second musical helping, it's dang hard to swallow.

"[4] David Browne's mixed review in Entertainment Weekly said: "Kracker now sees himself as a scruffy Nashville troubadour, and on his third CD, he pulls off the conceit far better than [Kid] Rock has."

On a critical note, Browne adds "Kracker's voice is too banal - and his material too mundane - to cut as deeply as his rural heroes.
