Allmusic[2]

On Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "Out of the Blues: Best of David Bromberg is a solid ten-track collection that features many highlights from Bromberg's '70s recordings, including both originals... and covers.... It's a good summation of his prime period and, therefore, a good introduction to his music."[2]

Billboard wrote, "A 'best' package with some live sets dating back as far as 1972. Traces the development and influences of Bromberg's style with a collage of blues, country, funky r&b, and jazz all punctuated by some fine guitar picking."[3]
