Critical reception

Billboard deemed the album "a delightfully varied and distinctively played work that combines the rootsy elements of the Continental Drifters' sound with the pop-rock influences that have served Holsapple well throughout his career."[4] Stereo Review concluded: "Sometimes cranky, sometimes despairing, and always doggedly hopeful, Out of My Way is some of the most tuneful catharsis around."[5]

AllMusic's editors gave the album four out of five stars, praising wordplay in the lyrics and the bass guitar instrumentation.[1]
