AllMusic	^[3]

Road Dogs received four stars out of five from Allmusic.^[3] Reviewer Michael B. Smith concludes that "This is one old dog [Charlie Daniels] who isn't even considering curling up on the porch and letting life pass him by. He's rockin', but it's not in a rocking chair, it's behind a Gibson guitar."^[3]
