Land of the Free? has received positive reviews. The AllMusic review by Jo-Ann Greene awards the album 4.5 stars and states: "Pennywise themselves are calling Land of the Free? 'a wake-up call,' aimed at the slumbering masses of America — an attempt to shake people out of their lethargy, and prod them into thinking about the world."[7]
