Critical Reception[]
Billy Dukes, writing for Taste of Country, juxtaposed the album to the band's first two albums, praising the diversity of the songs.
He wrote that "The evolution of Florida Georgia Line is fascinating. Had they tried to repeat the formula that made them headliners, they wouldn't have made it to album three. Kelley and Hubbard deserve credit for staying one step ahead of their fans and expectations.
Annie Reuter of Sounds Like Nashville also reviewed the album favorably, similarly praising the album's diversity, as well as the more mature themes, writing that "Florida Georgia Line showcase their maturity throughout Dig Your Roots but they never waver from what fans know and love about them. The party anthems and beach hangs remain, but so does their respect for their wives and their hopes to continue building a strong family. On Dig Your Roots, Hubbard and Kelley maintain the fun but also show a surprising depth that is more than welcomed."
