ALL MUSIC
We're all in this together, she's trying to say; so let's get some drinks and celebrate the New Redneck.
-
SLANT
sounding like a collection of b-sides and outtakes from last year’s Here For The Party, Gretchen Wilson’s rush-job follow-up, All Jacked Up, will likely avoid the sophomore slump based on sheer commercial momentum.

popMATTERS
Unfortunately, All Jacked Up is everything you might expect from a hurried follow-up to a record setting debut. Shunning ambition, it aims for consolidation. There's no standout anthem here, but there are still one or two moments of high quality to savour.

Country Standard Time
Artists always find it hard topping their previous effort, and Wilson is no exception to the rule. But she has managed to avoid the sophomore slump showing she was not a one-album wonder.

Record Store Day
Raucous and reckless it may be, but the title track's still no "Redneck Woman.

Track after track, Wilson belts like Bonnie Raitt while her band lays it down. Unfortunately—with half the album mired in embarrassing heartland clichés—the ‘Redneck Woman’ and her dozen songwriting partners seem like they’re mostly phoning it in.

BBC
this is refreshingly good, honest country music that sees the sharp-shooter from Pocahontas living up to her early promise.
-
SPIN
All Jacked Up, is pristine in that fashion, most of her follow-up leans on the falsehoods perpetrated by “Redneck Woman.”
-
The Blade
On "All Jacked Up," Wilson not only solidifies her image as a hard-hitting, hard-working, harder-drinking redneck, she puts listeners in awe of her sheer guts as she thumbs her nose at convention.

Lincoln Journal Star
“All Jacked Up” is evidence that she’s no flash in the pan.
