AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell said: "You know what to expect by now -- hardass, down-home, blues-drenched organ trio-plus-sax grooving -- but this is a really potent gusher of that genre ... it's amazing and gratifying that bluesicians are still allowed to make records this way".[4] On All About Jazz, Douglas Payne stated that "Road Tested, the seventh pairing under both their names, is exactly what you'd expect from these two: the tried and trues of funk and blues ... Road Tested offers some reliably soulful sounds and gotcha-groove for both fatback fans and acid-jazzers".[6]
