Critical reception

NPR wrote that "though the production is cleaner and fuller sounding than on his earlier records, [Jennings] maintains the level of intimacy and insight that his fans have come to expect."[9] American Songwriter called Boneclouds "the most dynamic and richly textured album of Jennings’ career."[10] Billboard wrote that "there's a fine line between being genuine and being cheesy, and Boneclouds wrestles with this throughout."[11] PopMatters called Jennings "an extraordinary player who dazzles through the charm and eloquence of his fret work."[12] Paste lamented Jennings's "penchant for Hallmark sentimentality and easy rhymes."[13]
