[2] The Avett Brothers received generally positive reviews from critics.

In a positive review, Timothy Monger of AllMusic wrote, "some of the songs, especially the energetic 'Love of a Girl' and 'Orion's Belt,' hark back to that heyday, but the earnest folk-pop of their later years still dominates the set.

"[1] Chris Conaton of PopMatters opined that the album represented a shift into "long-term career mode" for the band, arguing that the record is "solid but not spectacular," and that, "there is enough strong material here to satisfy longtime fans.

"[4] Following the release of the album, the band promoted the record by performing "Forever Now" on Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Saturday Morning, as well as "Love Of A Girl" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
