In a review of the album for AllMusic, Marcy Donelson wrote: "With Crutchfield forthright as ever and collaborators suited to drive home her position, Out in the Storm hits with strength as much as emotion."[7]

Exclaim! writer Sarah Murphy gave the album a 8/10, saying "Out in the Storm hears Crutchfield unleashing her first effort recorded in a proper studio...Unsurprisingly, the results are some of Crutchfield's biggest rock'n'roll anthems yet."[10]
