''Sixteen Stone'' received mostly positive feedback from [[Music journalism|music critics]]. ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' wrote that Bush "make a carefully honed post-grunge sound that fits perfectly alongside American counterparts like [[Stone Temple Pilots]] or [[Live (band)|Live]]."<ref name="Qreview"/> In a four-and-a-half stars out of five review, [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] of [[AllMusic]] calls their sound impressive, but states that the band sounds too much like [[Seattle]] rockers [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] and [[Pearl Jam]].<ref name="allmusicreview"/> [[Robert Christgau]] was more critical in ''[[The Village Voice]]'', regarding it as a "not altogether unmusical howl of male pain" that glorified "despair".<ref name="VV"/>
