Entertainment Weekly writer Chris Willman wrote that: "White Trash With Money — the first release on Keith's own label — might have even choicer cuts, but like the similarly indie-minded Prince, Keith is valuing prodigiousness over being a prodigy."^[5] Rolling Stone's Christian Hoard called the album "an arena-ready collection of jokey rockers and sad-cowboy ballads that's as immaculate and assembly-line sturdy as a new SUV." He concluded that: "Considering White Trash's standard-issue honky-tonk, he'll have to try a lot harder to provoke listeners outside of his fan base."^[8] Randy Lewis of the Los Angeles Times wrote that: "Keith is flexing creative muscles that hadn't gotten a lot of use before last year, so even though the results here are inconsistent, it feels like a prelude to something truly memorable."^[6] Werner Trieschman of The Phoenix praised Keith's "sly baritone" being utilized to deliver his "sharp humor" throughout the album, saying that: "White Trash won't win over any haters, but it argues that if Keith's an insensitive meathead redneck, he's at least an insensitive meathead redneck with tunes and a voice."^[7]
