Encyclopedia
Nothing Like This received positive reviews from most critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine
with Allmusic gave it a four-star review, saying "Nothing Like This doesn’t offer anything new, it’s Rascal Flatts who have never strayed from the sunny sound of their 2000 debut - but everything from the melodies to the very sound of the tight 11-track record seems brighter than the trio’s last few records. It’s a fresh coat of paint on a sturdy old house". Gary Graff with Billboard
gave it a favorable review, saying "The trio's harmonies remain as crisp as a fresh pair of Wranglers; polished, deceptively effortless and relentlessly tuneful, Nothing Like This is everything we've come to expect from Rascal Flatts".
