Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars and said, "Still Kids finds New Kids on the Block playing to their strengths, winding up with an album that sounds fresher than expected and is arguably tighter than their big hits of yore."[16] Carla Feric of The Independent wrote, "The album's upbeat summer songs will stick with you all day; they're catchy, the lyrics are memorable, and they capture the classic boy-band 'pop' sound that fans and casual listeners alike can appreciate."[18]
