Editorial Review:
What does a wildly successful purveyor of ‘80s big hair power ballads do in an ensuing decade dominated by fervent shoe-gazing and other attendant alt.cliches? If you’re Jon Bon Jovi, you scale back your band’s ambitions, retool yourself as surprisingly accomplished indie film and TV actor, and (mostly) wait for the pop music tides to turn in your favor again. But JBJ and guitarist/collaborator Richie Sambora didn’t let their band’s lukewarm ‘90s fortunes dampen their knack for hook-savvy songcraft, as this muscular anthem-fest argues at virtually every turn. BJ’s songs here may be as infectious as ever, yet they’re seldom mere confections, often infused with alternating doses of bracing cynicism (the title track’s sarcastic riposte to the ’04 election) and reflective, often bittersweet takes on histories both personal and otherwise. If it sometimes stoops to formula--the droning, metallic ethos of the obligatory big ballad "I Am" can’t overcome some equally perfunctory lyrics–it’s also an album with its share of warm surprises, be they unexpected nods to Dylan ("Last Man Standing," the acoustic idealism of "Bells of Freedom"), the hard-edged "I Want to Live" or a winning duet with Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles, "Who Says You Can’t Go Home." Bon Jovi may deliver a sonically burnished triumph here by largely going back to the future--yet does it with one ear crucially cocked towards the anxious energy of the recent past. -- Jerry McCulley
Have a Nice Day Reviews:
WTF 
2009-08-24 - This album just sucks. I Mnot sure what else to say other than I can't listen to it.
Bon Jovi cd have a Nice Day 
2009-04-28 - Was good but not their best in my opinion but cd was in perfect condition
Simple Review 
2009-01-11 - Highlights: Last Man Standing, Last Cigarette (possibly Bon Jovi's best song ever - awesome), Novocaine. Lowlights: none. all the other song are good or really good. Ratings wise I rank this as my favorite Bon Jovi album though I still favor These Days. Excellent Album. Bon Jovi at their best.
Have a nice day- Bon Jove
2008-12-07 - I love all of Bon Jovi's albums. I just needed to add one that I didn't have to my collection. Its a great album, and Bon Jovi is a great band.
Running on empty. 
2008-02-26 - I never thought it would come the day when I just wouldn't care to buy the new album of Bon Jovi. But this band is finally running on fumes. The band's secret weapon is running silent. Richie is nowhere to be found on this album and without Sambora this band is doomed.
Have a nice day is the same recipe, it is just recycled material. A carbon-copy of Bounce and Crush. Bon Jovi has become a parody of itself and it is running on empty. Either Bon Jovi re-invents itselfs, charge up the battery with something similar to the masterpiece of These Days or it will implode. Thumbs down.
