Critical reception

A review of the song in Cash Box was positive, stating that "Described as a classic shuffle in the tradition of Ray Price or Buck Owens, 'Just Call Me Lonesome' is also reminiscent of Dwight Yoakam's 'Guitars, Cadillacs'. Good Bakersfield sound."[2]

A review by Billboard said all about Radney and his former part of the duo Foster & Lloyd.[3]
