Head Down has been met with mostly positive reviews. William Clark of Guitar International wrote, "Rival Sons have rocketed back on to our radar with their new album, Head Down, and despite the title it shows the band heading nowhere but up."[5] Greg Moffitt of BBC praised the band for their craftsmanship of 60s and 70s blues and hard rock music reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and The Doors, saying that the album "honours half a century of classic rock with reverence, respect and the realisation that this music’s still happening, right now."[6] AllMusic's Jon O'Brien admired the collaboration between the band and Dave Cobb for bringing "a sense of adventure" to their recreation of the Zeppelin sound, saying that "there's much to enjoy on this typically ballsy and no-nonsense follow-up to 2011 breakthrough Pressure & Time."[2]
