Critical reception

Rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "Maybe Niemann will never be as weird as he was on Free the Music, but on This Ride he manages to convey his own amiable, slightly left of center personality within mainstream country-pop, and that's more than enough."[2] Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal rated the album "A", saying that "there is something in it for everybody" and praising "God Made a Woman" as the strongest song.[3]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at No. 28 on the Country Album Sales chart,[4] selling 1,400 copies in the first week.[5]
