Life at Best is an album by Eli Young Band, an American country music band. It was released on August 16, 2011 via Republic Nashville. The album includes the single "Crazy Girl", which has reached number 1 on the Hot Country Songs charts. The album's second single, "Even If It Breaks Your Heart", was released in January 2012, and has also reached number 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The third single was "Say Goodnight", which peaked at number 22 on the Country Airplay Chart. According to HITS Daily Souble, the album sold 348,000 copies as of February 2014.
Giving it four stars out of five, Steve Morley of Country Weekly said that the album "rings with roots-rock guitars and meaty, often melancholy themes". A less favorable review came from Andrew Leahey of Allmusic, who thought that it was a "step backwards" because he did not consider its songs as memorable as those on Jet Black & Jealous.
