Critical reception

In a favorable review, Gina Arnold wrote that "although Travel On, Rider...is by far the best album of career, it is also the band's most difficult." She also described the album as "the Ladies to the Whigs' 1993 tour de force Gentlemen. Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote, "Without sacrificing the band's rough edges, Steve Albini's and Jeff Powell's recording and engineering give the band it's most polished sound yet, but it doesn't make their songs -- still bitter, still pessimistic, still sad -- suffer for it."
