In a review for AllMusic, Hal Horowitz called the recording "an impressively diverse album that's performed with fire, passion, and a sophistication that's always at the heart of the guitarist's classy approach."

Bill Milkowski, writing for DownBeat, described the album as "a revelation from the great beyond," and noted: "Herring's striking originals... demonstrate the scope of his open-minded musicality on his second release as a leader."

Ian Patterson of All About Jazz commented: "Subject to Change Without Notice, whilst stylistically diverse, could be classified as a blues album, as the blues lies at the core of the playing. Herring, for his part, has never sounded more relaxed, nor in finer tune, on what is a highly enjoyable recording." AAJ's Alan Bryson stated: "This is an album that keeps me coming back for more, and eager to discover what [Herring's] musical future holds," while Doug Collette remarked: "Herring fully participates but declines to hog the spotlight; his humility may be his greatest asset, apart from his lightning touch."{{cite web |url=https://www.allaboutjazz.com/jimmy-herring-subject-to-change-without-notice-jimmy-herring-by-aaj-staff |title=Jimmy Herring: Subject To Change Without Notice |first=AAJ |last=Staff |date=November 14, 2012 |website=All About Jazz |access-date=September 13, 2022}}

Writing for Relix, Scott Bernstein called the album "exceptional," and stated: "Subject to Change Without Notice finds Herring mashing disparate genres such as jazz fusion, blues, psychedelic rock and bluegrass with ease."{{cite web |url=https://relix.com/reviews/detail/jimmy-herring-subject-to-change-without-notice |title=Jimmy Herring: Subject To Change Without Notice |first=Scott |last=Bernstein |date=August 30, 2012 |website=Relix |access-date=September 13, 2022}}

Brian Robbins of Jambands.com wrote that the album "covers a lot of ground and takes you to many different places. And Jimmy Herring and friends prove to be great tour guides."{{cite web |url=https://jambands.com/reviews/cds/2012/08/22/jimmy-herring-subject-to-change-without-notice |title=Jimmy Herring: Subject To Change Without Notice |first=Brian |last=Robbins |date=August 22, 2012 |website=Jambands.com |access-date=September 13, 2022}}

Glide Magazine's Bryan Rodgers commented: "Subject To Change Without Notice is certainly a guitar record first, and that can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. Fortunately, Herring has the humility and common sense to showcase the rest of the players as well, making this album so much more: one of the most notable instrumental releases of the year."

In an article for Premier Guitar, Jason Shadrick, referring to the Jeff Beck album, stated: "This is Herring's Wired, a snapshot of a stylistically unmatched guitar giant who not only has chops galore, but knows when to take his foot off the gas and tug on your heartstrings with tone and taste."{{cite web |url=https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/reviews/album-review-jimmy-herring-subject-to-change-without-notice |title=Album Review: Jimmy Herring - Subject To Change Without Notice |first=Jason |last=Shadrick |date=August 10, 2012 |website=Premier Guitar |access-date=September 13, 2022}}
