Source	Rating
AllMusic	[2]
Rolling Stone	positive[3]
Smash Hits	[4]

Most of the recordings date from a portion of the 1979-1980 American tour in support of the band`s Low Budget album, hence the inclusion of six songs from that LP. Those songs were augmented by a selection of hits dating back to the band`s formation in 1964.

In his 1980 review of the album for Smash Hits, David Hepworth said that the album was "as convincing an argument for banning live albums as you`ll find".[4] In their brief review, AllMusic wrote that "One for the Road is a fascinating document of trailblazing elder statesmen who paved the way for heavy metal and punk, but never felt a glorious pop song was out of their grasp."[2]
