Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine on AllMusic believed that "There's a certain tendency for country albums of this era to be uneven, and if that's the case on Love of the Common People, it isn't because of bad material but because Jennings is searching the entire time, testing things out, finding that some things work and others don't." He concluded that "It may not be a perfect album, but there are enough remarkable moments to make it nearly essential."
The album debuted on the Billboard Hot Country LP's chart in the issue dated August 26, 1967, peaking at number 3 during a twenty-four-week run on it.
