One for the Road was met with positive reviews from music critics, and also debuted at number 36 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

[1] After a year of relative musical silence, on June 24, 2013, Devin the Dude announced, that his eighth studio album would be titled One for the Road and would be released in September 2013.

Oscar Pascual of San Francisco Chronicle said, "Devin The Dude has always won us over with his chill beats, effortless flow, and affinity for smoking weed.

"[15] RAJ of Uproxx's Smoking Section gave the album a positive review saying, "For decades, Devin the Dude’s been hammering out delicious, smokey rhymes to sit back and ride to, and One For The Road doesn't deviate from the formula.

The highs include the weed anthem 'I'm Just Getting Blowed,' and continue through the lush lead single, 'Probably Should Have,' as Devin woefully laments past relationships gone wrong.

For Devin the Dude’s reincarnation to be as successful as planned, he could have gone with some nice relaxed West-coast beats, but instead he tried to hit the home run.
