All American Made received positive reviews from professional music critics, and it has been given a rating of 82 on Metacritic based on 14 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[10]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that in a shift from the personal vignettes of her debut album, Price does not disguise her liberal politics in this album, and she also broadens her musical range "drawing an expansive portrait of American roots music, one that touches on R&B, Tex-Mex, girl group pop, spacy indie rock, and even Glen Campbell's trippiest moments", which are "unified by a musical and lyrical aesthetic that views American life not only as a continuum, but a place where the past and present, rural and urban are in constant dialogue."[11] Leonie Cooper of NME noted that it is an album that harks back to the country genre's more authentic beginnings, and that by "adding a decent dose of 2017 into her classic sound, Price creates something truly great."[15] Jonathon Bernstein of Rolling Stone compares Price's album to the best work of the seventies of Willie Nelson, who dueted with Price in "Learning to Lose", in that it is "both reverent and revolutionary, a traditional-minded statement that nevertheless blazes an urgent path forward."[19]
