At Metacritic, the album holds a Metascore of an 80 out of 100 based upon 15 selected independent ratings and reviews, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.[1] At AllMusic, James Christopher Monger rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, writing that "Throughout it all Segarra struts her stuff without the slightest bit of arrogance (most of the arrangements are spare, but never willfully so), offering up a confident, yet ultimately amiable set of millennial-informed, urban crafted, Woody Guthrie-inspired, contemporary hobo-folk anthems that play fast and loose with genre tropes without losing the essence that makes them universal."[2] Will Hermes of Rolling Stone rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, stating that "Segarra's supple, intimate vocals are about more than conjuring a musical past [...] she clearly wants to shape the future, too."[6] At Paste, Eric R. Danton rated the album an eight out of ten, saying that the songs "encompass a broad swath of a timeless America, like old Carter Family tunes existing in the peaks and troughs of AM radio waves rolling endlessly over the miles."[3] PopMatters' Eric Risch rated the album an eight out of ten, affirming that the album "is a collection of songs that speak from and for the heart of America’s fringe, calling them both to task and arms" on which Segarra "has found a home and sense of being for her voice – a voice capable and deserving of a population larger than the album’s title."[5] In his review for Pitchfork, Scott M. Deusner rated the album a seven-point-eight out of ten, asserting that "With Small Town Heroes, Segarra proves herself one of the most compelling stylists in a folk revival full of suspicious acts either too beholden to tradition or too uncritical to make much of it."[4] {{clear}}Track listing{{Track listing| total_length = 44:03 | title1 = Blue Ridge Mountain | length1 = 2:33 | title2 = Crash on the Highway | length2 = 2:45 | title3 = Good Time Blues (An Outlaw's Lament) | length3 = 5:17 | title4 = End of the Line | length4 = 3:38 | title5 = The New SF Bay Blues | length5 = 4:01 | title6 = The Body Electric | length6 = 2:49 | title7 = No One Else | length7 = 3:17 | title8 = St. Roch Blues | length8 = 5:09 | title9 = Levon's Dream | length9 = 3:50 | title10 = I Know It's Wrong (But That's Alright) | length10 = 2:58 | title11 = Small Town Heroes | length11 = 4:28 | title12 = Forever Is Just a Day | length12 = 3:18 }} Charts
