In tandem with the four star rating, Jesus Freak Hideout's Alex Caldwell recognizing, "Here's To The Ones is a rare treat in that both the music and the message sound equally authentic, and shows that Walker, in all his grittiness and imperfections, still has his focus in the right place." Tim Holden, writing for Cross Rhythms in an eight out of ten review, emphasizing, "Rhett Walker Band's second record label album outing continues the gritty Southern rock sound with attitude... If it is rock with more than a hint of southern flavour and a bit of spiritual meat to the lyrics you're looking for, then 'Here's To The Ones' is definitely an album to get hold of." Awarding the album four stars from 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre writes, "Rhett Walker Band have released a sophomore album that exceeds my expectations, as there’s plenty of genres encompassed here, enough to make most people happy."
