Mark Deming, writing for Allmusic, remarked that "The craft of Browne's songwriting is still strong, and his performances are pin-sharp and passionate, but unfortunately the very real strengths of The Naked Ride Home only make its flaws all the more glaring — namely, that Browne's muse hasn't taken him anyplace new and interesting in some time, and even though it's clear he still takes the arts of songwriting and recording very seriously, the results lack the depth or the impact of his earlier work."[1]

James Hunter, writing for Rolling Stone magazine, felt that the album delivered "a varied midtempo dependability that turns richer and more resonant upon re-listenings," and that it was "looser, warmer and more live-sounding than Browne's recent work — yet still as passionately crafted and sung ... he is the sound of unfrantic L.A. cool engaged with the long view."[2]
