John Ellis of No Depression gave it a glowing review, praising the style and writing "Born on Fire is an eleven track ode to a time when rock and roll was rock and roll. Actually, not 'time,' but 'times.' Ike Reilly has crafted an album that weaves in and out of the great epochs of rock."[3] Popmatters wrote that "Reilly’s sonic indelibility only remains second fiddle to his astounding ability to craft a personal story and envelop it in song," and gave it 8/10.[5]

American Songwriter gave it 4/5 stars, praising his "skewed, dry, self-effacing humor." Reviewer Hal Horowitz went on to say "To say this is exciting, unpredictable, idiosyncratic American rock and roll is not to do it justice. Established cult Reilly fans might know what to expect, but even they will be thrilled with the sheer dynamic gusto and rollicking groove he unleashes. It’s pure, unaffected and raw, adjectives that have always described Reilly and result in this explosive album, the culmination of his extensive years in the trenches."[4]
