The Way Life Goes has received mostly positive critical reviews since its release.

Allmusic gave the album a possible four stars out of five, with reviewer Stephen Erlewine saying, "This is who he is: a man slightly out of time and a musician who's gotten better at his craft over the years, winding up with the best record he's ever made". Writer William Clark of Music Enthusiast Magazine wrote "Although us fans have had to wait nearly twenty years to hear some new material from the renowned musician, when those first few racing guitar licks to “Welcome To My Mind” come cranking out of your speakers, you instantly know this album was more than worth the wait".

Metal Forces calls the album "an impressive piece of work that is multi-layered and jam-packed full of emotion with not a duff tune to be found", while Hard Rock Hideout described the album as having "fantastic song writing, and outstanding playing fill The Way Life Goes and Tom Keifer's voice has never sounded better!".

The Way Life Goes sold 5,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at No. 78 on The Billboard 200 chart.
