Pistol Annies debuted at Number 1 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart with their introductory album, Hell On Heels.

As of June 5, 2013, the album has sold 488,000 copies in the United States.

Review aggregate site Metacritic gave the album a score of 84/100, based on 9 reviews, earning the summary "Universal acclaim". Karlie Justus of Engine 145 gave the single a "thumbs up", with her review saying, "But beyond its cleverly delivered lyrics and well-framed production, the best part about this initial showcase is the clear intent that seems to drive both the song and the group behind its singers." It received four stars from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who thought that it had "sassiness and a spark". Rating it four stars out of five, Jessica Phillips of Country Weekly praised the "sparse production, unabashedly country lyrics and strong rhythm sections".In addition, Rolling Stone listed the album at 29 of the "50 Best Albums of 2011". As of December 2012, the album has sold 430,000 copies without one big radio hit.
