Here's to the Good Times has received mixed reviews by music critics. Robert Silva of About.com found that the album "may not be built to last, but it's built to be blast."[10] Allmusic's Steve Leggett told that the release is "based on summer energy, drinking beer, taking shots, driving back roads, and the romantic glories and possibilities of Friday and Saturday nights with nothing to do but look for those good times."[11] At Music Is My Oxygen Weekly, Rob Burkhardt evoked that "Here’s To the Good Times is only going to add to Florida Georgia Line’s rapidly growing popularity."[12] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock praised the album because "is chock full of hits", and said that "it's the work of a band who not only has captured an audience seemingly overnight but also has the potential to be the biggest duo in Country Music".[13] However, Taste of Country's Billy Dukes was critical of the release because it does not contain "a wide range of styles and emotions", and that "Florida Georgia Line would have been better served by a more experienced country producer instead of the talented Joey Moi".[14]
