Critical reviews for America's Least Wanted were mostly positive. Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave it four and a half stars out of five, and said that it "delivers a set of similar rockers and a handful of power ballads, including a revamped version of Harry Chapin's 'Cat's in the Cradle'" and described the music as a "mixture of fizzy, fuzzy riffs, sing-song melodies, and calculated obnoxiousness isn't that offensive."
