Critical acclaim

The reviews of "All the Roadrunning" were positive. Allmusic described the new song on the 2005 compilation as "nice" and "beautiful", as well as a song that "keeps the line of continuity and excellence in perspective." Hybridmagazine describes the song as having a "celtic folk melody" and as "accented by delicate mandolin and soaring fiddle strains, while the lyrics are a wistful account of life on the road that finds the lead character taking stock of the sacrifices and benefits of roaming."
