The album received a positive critical reception. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic.com took note that when compared to Keith's previous album, Bullets in the Gun (released in 2010), Clancy's Tavern "pushes humor to the forefront and generally isn’t so insistent on driving the beat into arena country territory, letting the melodies and music relax." He continues by stating that Keith is no longer at the height of his career and that "he’s now the guy he sang about being on “As Good as I Once Was." However, toward the end of the review, Erlewine commended Keith for delivering one of his best albums in "many a moon." [1]
