But it is not characteristic of his other work: for many, it will be the only Browne album they will want to own, just as others always will regard it disdainfully as "Jackson Browne lite."

a strong record, and it's not surprising that it's Browne's best remembered work

Rolling Stone
In other words, as impressed as I am with Jackson Browne's art, I'm even more impressed with the humanity that shines through it. Maybe they're inseparable, but I doubt it.

Best Classic bands
Jackson Browne's most surprising, least typical album, a game-changer that updated his identity from folk-rock troubadour to rock headliner

All About Jazz
There is no other album quite like Running On Empty in Jackson Browne's discography. But then, there may be no other album comparable in contemporary rock: it is an absolutely unflinching portrait of an artist looking for a connection to the muse and only fleetingly establishing one.

he has nonetheless remained a renowned and respected member of the folk rock fraternity, certainly for his skilled and soulful penmanship, but perhaps more importantly, for his identity and idealism of the common man, and the generosity of spirit displayed herein.

Running on Empty is, arguably, the definitive road album, or at the very least, the definitive road album from the 70s.

Stocks, Bonds, and Rock & Roll
As a concept album it works rather well, as Running never veers from its life-on-the-road framework and only occasionally (“Shaky Town”) descends into self-parody.
