Billboard said that Myles "hit a home run" with Highway and Honky Tonks.[1] Alternatively, Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that while the album's lyrics were not original, Unterberger believed Myles' honesty and performance was excellent. [2] When reviewing the songs, No Depression believed the song that did not sound good was "No One Is Gonna Love You Better", calling it "the album's only real weak moment".[3]
