[edit] Response

[edit] Critical

Critical response was generally positive and focused on the overall consistency of their material. Giving the album three out of four stars, People magazine said "these boys know how to give today's country-pop fans what they want."[1] Rolling Stone said "These Buffett-style party boys know what makes them the biggest group alive: songs about trucks and songs about girls," and gave the album three out of five stars.[2] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide wrote that the material was solid, if not distinctive: "Everything on Still Feels Good sounds fine... but few songs stand out and grab attention".[3]

[edit] Commercial

The album sold 547,000 copies in its first week of release, topping both the U.S. Country Album chart and the Billboard 200.
