Chris Long from the BBC said that "Stuck somewhere between Cornell’s initial incarnation in Soundgarden and a curious entry to American Idol, it is a collection that is both catchy and dreary at the same time, shown perfectly in the opening trio of No Such Thing’s grown-up grunge."
Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly said "After a decent but ultimately underwhelming run with Audioslave, that now-vintage Cornell is back on No Such Thing, the incendiary opener of Carry On, his second solo release. And then...it goes away again. There is nothing wrong with a calmer, mellower Chris — after all, he's now a sober, fortysomething dad. But it's hard not to pine for the old fire".
