==Critical reception==
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic concludes his review by saying, "This is very much a debut -- at times it's hard to not wish it would soar a little higher or shake off the formula of its genre -- but it's a very enjoyable, promising debut from an artist who could turn into something special."<ref Name=AM1/>
Eden Miller of ''PopMatters'' writes, "Even though ''Jukebox Sparrows'' makes a couple mistakes along the way, it is an impressive debut that clearly shows the abilities of this powerful singer and songwriter."<ref name=PM>{{cite web |url=https://www.popmatters.com/mcnallyshannon-jukebox-2496002292.html |title=PopMatters Review |last=Miller |first=Eden |date=7 January 2002 |website= |publisher= |access-date=1 August 2020 |quote=}}</ref>
''Billboard'' writes, "Produced by Ron Aniello over 11 months at Cello Studios in Los Angeles, "''Jukebox Sparrows''" reveals itself as a surprisingly confident musical and lyrical offering for such a young songwriter."<ref name=BB>{{cite web |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/77124/shannon-mcnallys-jukebox-holds-musical-variety |title=Billboard Review |last= |first= |date=17 January 2002 |website= |publisher= |access-date=1 August 2020 |quote=}}</ref>
''The Washington Post's'' Mark Jenkins writes, "the singer has a taste for country, blues and gospel that would seem incongruous if she didn't boast the sort of voice that could stir a Pentecostal congregation."<ref name=WP>{{cite web |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2002/01/04/shannon-mcnally-jukebox-spar/5476ed47-5fb7-4efa-a50c-8801a1add38e/ |title=Washington Post Review |last=Jenkins |first=Mark |date= |website= |publisher= |access-date=1 August 2020 |quote=}}</ref>
