Reviewing the album for Billboard Magazine, Deborah Evans Price describes, "These songs were tracked live in the studio to old-fashioned 2-inch tape, and taking an organic detour in a high-tech world works well for LaRue's personal, vulnerable delivery." [4] Relevant Magazine writes, "it will all work out in the end, even if Let the Road Pave Itself is just the beginning." [5] Awarding the album four stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks states, "Let the Road Pave Itself offers a fresh and uplifting approach to music, one that old and new fans of the singer alike can, and should, admire." [3] Mike Rimmer, giving the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, says, "'Let The Road Pave Itself' sees him emerging as a grown up artist, penning emotional and creative songs...Undoubtedly, his best work is still ahead and 'Let The Road Pave Itself' will be viewed as a pivotal transitional recording." [2] Rating the album a 9.2 out of ten by Christian Music Review, Kevin Davis replies, "Phillip’s personal and relevant lyrics and vulnerable singing style made this a memorable and enjoyable album for me."
