Music critic Mark Deming of AllMusic said the album was "easily T-Bone Burnett's strongest album since Proof Through the Night, and a rare pleasure for thinking music fans".[2] Trouser Press critic Ira Robbins called the album a "huge improvement" over Burnett's previous one, observing that "The Criminal Under My Own Hat largely abandons the slick pretensions of The Talking Animals and returns to the modest rootsiness of [his 1986 self-titled album]." Despite a few weak tracks, Robbins hailed it as "Burnett’s best album or at least his most underrated one."[3]
