Jason Ankeny, for AllMusic, wrote: "A sweeping, stately record, it owes a great deal to the Stones' Exile on Main St." The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "a strong collection of original material." Trouser Press called it "consistently ace," writing that "strong tunes like 'Firetrap', 'Good Luck Morning' and the rousing, horn-driven 'Hole in the Mountain' [are] given a spiky, full-bodied grace."{{cite web |title=Walkabouts |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/walkabouts/ |website=Trouser Press |access-date=25 February 2021}} Uncut deemed it an "underselling classic" that "captures perfectly [the band's] haunted experimentalism."{{Cite web|url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/the-walkabouts-watermarks-selected-songs-1991-2001-26592/|title=The Walkabouts - Watermarks: Selected Songs 1991-2001|date=March 31, 2003}} CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the album's "disposition is pensive and vaguely ominous throughout."{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=My0EAAAAMBAJ&dq=Setting+the+Woods+on+Fire+walkabouts+sub+pop&pg=PT5|title=Reviews|work=CMJ New Music Monthly|date=September 25, 1995|publisher=CMJ Network, Inc.|via=Google Books}}
