Entertainment Weekly
It finds Hiatt's country-tinged songwriting and mordant sense of humor in top form. [6 June 2008, p.119]

Hartford Courant
Some of those changes have been for good, and some haven't, but the former wins out on Hiatt's 20th album.

All Music Guide
Same Old Man shows he's learned a lot since then, and you can hear the lessons shining through in this music.
80
Boston Globe
His latest is one of his best in recent years.
80
Paste Magazine
On his 19th studio album, John Hiatt has rediscovered his muse--more wrinkled and greyer than before, but central to a musically unvarnished song cycle tracing the ups and downs of a long-term relationship.... Two of these songs rank with Hiatt’s best work.
75
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Same Old Men could use more wry rockers like "Old Days" and fewer love songs that veer uncomfortably into the middle of the road, but otherwise, Hiatt threatens to give growing old a good name.
70
PopMatters
Hiatt’s Same Old Man says it all in the title--he’s the same songwriter he’s been for years, and his formula is tried and true. The only thing is, his formula becomes closer to perfect with each and every test.
60
Uncut
Same Old Man won't upend the form-book, but it's an agreeably unpretentious addition to the Indiana-born veteran's canon. [June 2008, p.93]

NOW Magazine
Same Old Man isn’t Hiatt’s finest hour but it’s still far from his worst.
