Rockin' My Life Away received mixed reviews from critics. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine says "and while he's losing energy as he ages, it actually adds some subtlety to his music. Still, if Rockin' My Life Away is anything, it's bloozy boogie and it's predictable, and for longtime fans, the lack of spark may cancel out the strength of the material."^[2]
