On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized scale from 0 to 100 based on reviews from critics, Through the Open Window has a rating of 96.[7]
Paste magazine critic Matt Melis gave it a positive review, concluding that "In many ways, Through the Open Window serves as Dylan's own roaming, rambling account of how he quite literally made it to that historic venue after only a few short years on the folk scene."[17] Writing for Ultimate Classic Rock, critic Michael Galluchi summarized it "tells the story of how Robert Zimmerman from Duluth, Minnesota, became Bob Dylan, the voice of a generation. It's told through home recordings, club performances, outtakes from his first three albums, radio appearances and the complete 1963 Carnegie Hall concert".[18] Sean Hinman concluded in a review for the music website SuperDeluxeEdition that the compilation is an "essential set for diehard Dylan fans".[19]
"Rocks and Gravel (Solid Road)"
The single "Rocks and Gravel (Solid Road)" was originally recorded for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album, but did not make the final tracklist, for reasons unknown.[20]
