Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that " Old Dominion aren't ashamed that they provide music for romance and relaxation, and the fact that they don't seem to be trying quite so hard this third time around makes their eponymous album feel natural and, yes, more like themselves."[5]
Old Dominion debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 with 31,000 album-equivalent units, including 19,000 pure album sales. It is Old Dominion's second US top-10 album.[6] It has a further 5,000 in pure album sales the second week.[7] It has sold 59,400 copies in the United States,[8] with 379,000 units consumed in total as of March 2020.[9]
