The initial Billboard review from May 20, 1967, writing that Mancini "scores again" in his "inimitable style" and that the album "contains the freshness and dexterity that Mancini injects in all of his award-winning tracks. A polished performance throughout". The album was one of Billboards 'Pop Picks' for the week.[5]
Greg Adams reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "Only the repetition of the title track interferes with enjoying Two for the Road on its own terms as a varied and entertaining album of mostly instrumental music" and praised the "Mantovani-style strings and jazzy horn solos to a surf beat" of "Something for Audrey" and "Congarocka".[2]
