In a review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that the album "has vague echoes of [Miranda] Lambert within its songs" and that "the occasional moments where [producer Jay] Joyce strips away all the pop pizzazz reveal Townes as a sharp singer/songwriter."[1] Lee Zimmerman of American Songwriter rated the album three stars out of five and wrote that The Lemonade Stand "finds [Townes] a confident and credible artist clearly capable of courting widespread crossover appeal."[5] Scott Roos of Exclaim! wrote that "whatever this record "is" in terms of its overall sound, it will appeal to a broad audience with its series of radio-friendly medium-tempo stompers and tender ballads," and summarized the album as a "solid" debut.[2] Ellen Johnson of Paste applauded Townes' relatable lyric writing and wrote that she "has the power to convey powerful personal narratives in song and somehow still make you believe the words were about your own life all along."[6]
