The Other Side received a score of 87 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on reviews from four critics, which the website categorized as "universal acclaim". [3] Mojo called the album "probably the most honest reflection of himself he's ever made", [4] and Uncut described it as "supremely inviting, warm and ruefully radiant" and "a crown on a career still going strong". [5]
Jim Hynes of Glide Magazine found it to be a "return" to Burnett's "roots" as a singer-songwriter and noted that it is "simple on the surface, basically a country blues effort" with "a sneaky quality. It will grow on you after a few listens." [1] Mark Deming of AllMusic characterized the album as "a collection of 12 songs of uncluttered eloquence informed by Burnett's belief in the human spirit, while the arrangements are almost exclusively taken up by acoustic instruments and vocals". [2]
All tracks are written by T Bone Burnett, with additional writers noted.
