Mark Anthony Neal of Popmatters called the album "a worthwhile investment." With a 3 out of 5 star rating Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic noted "That's the Way of the World may not have the ebb and flow of a proper live set, but it does have the advantage of burning bright consistently throughout the record." He also called the album "a fun record, something that the group's fans -- particularly those who loved the group's early peak years -- will surely dig."
