Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming wrote of the album "HWY 62 finds Peter Case rockin' the blues a little bit and singing with serious heart, soul, and wisdom all the time, and nearly three decades into his solo career he remains one of our best and most compelling singer/songwriters, with this album as proof."[3] Steve Horowitz of PopMatters commented, "At its core, HWY 62 declares allegiance to the victims of unfairness, inequality, and the wrong things that happen to people, and announces that Case is one of them. That he can touch us so strongly with these tales reveals Case’s considerable artistic talents."[5]
