Life is Good received a 61 out of 100 score on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews". In their review, Allmusic commented that "The Hand of John L. Sullivan" is a blazing barn burner in the band's signature tradition, and "Crushed [Hostile Nations]" is a slow-building wartime tale with a massive chorus that harkens back to King's heavy metal past." Classic Rock Magazine also gave the album a mostly positive review and called "The Hand of John L. Sullivan" a highlight.
