All That Was East Is West of Me Now received a score of 77 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. [1] Mojo felt that "although only nine tracks, it's a sprawling affair revisiting just about every road he's previously travelled, but somehow tying them all together for the first time", [4] while Classic Rock remarked that "the mood varies across the record". [3]
Nick Roseblade of Clash opined that "if you are into classic singer songwriters, this album is for you" and the "songs are well written with glorious instrumentation. Hansard is the owner of, well, a decent pair of pipes and whether he's singing, crooning, bellowing or whispering you feel the emotion in this voice", even if he felt the material is "a bit samey" and "we've heard it all before". [2] Reviewing the album for The Skinny , Alan O'Hare felt that the album "begins as a noisy yet meditative record with crunching guitars and snapping snares, before settling into a more reflective pattern to suit the resigned sighs and stuttering sounds his tunes twist taut upon". [5]
All tracks are written by Glen Hansard.
