Andrew Kronfeld, in the Huffington Post, listed this album among the best of 2007 and wrote: "Let me start by saying that Ryan Adams is, for me, the best American songwriter of this generation, so everything I write is somewhat biased by this opinion. … I did think that the 2005-2006 trilogy of Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights and 29 were his weakest albums to date. Happily, Easy Tiger is a real return to form; it is not Ryan Adams doing country, Ryan doing a jam band thing or Ryan doing indie rock - it is just Ryan Adams being Ryan Adams, writing tight, emotional songs that hit you hard. Welcome back Ryan, we've missed you!"
The following albums were also on Mr. Kronfeld's list: The National, Boxer; LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver; Peter, Bjorn and John, Writer's Block; Bruce Springsteen, Magic.
