''Nothing Like This'' has received positive reviews from most critics. [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] with [[AllMusic]] gave the album a four-star review, saying "''Nothing Like This'' doesn’t offer anything new, it’s Rascal Flatts who have never strayed from the sunny sound of their 2000 debut - but everything from the melodies to the very sound of the tight 11-track record seems brighter than the trio’s last few records. It’s a fresh coat of paint on a sturdy old house".<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=nothing-like-this-r2029472|pure_url=yes}} |title=Nothing Like This - Rascal Flatts |last= Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |accessdate=2010-11-November 22, 2010}}</ref> Gary Graff of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine gave it a favorable review, saying that "[t]he trio's harmonies remain as crisp as a fresh pair of Wranglers; polished, deceptively effortless and relentlessly tuneful, ''Nothing Like This'' is everything we've come to expect from Rascal Flatts".<ref name="BB">{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/1068406/rascal-flatts-nothing-like-this |title=Rascal Flatts, "Nothing Like This" |last=Graff |first=Gary |publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=2010-11-November 30, 2010 |accessdate=2010-12-December 30, 2010}}</ref>
