Wendy Ide of Screen International wrote, "Thrillingly inventive, satisfyingly textured and infused with warmth and humanity, this is a triumph."[9] Jessica Kiang of Variety wrote, "its 93 minutes whip by so airily, it's possible not to realize how much you've learned to love the family whose road trip you've shared in, until the credits roll and you immediately start to miss them."[10]

David Ehrlich at IndieWire gave the film an A− grade, calling it "a film that swerves between tragedy and gallows humor with the expert control of a stunt driver".[11] Roxana Hadadi of New York wrote, "There is a sparseness to Hit the Road that reveals the intuitiveness of Panahi's filmmaking, his grasp of these characters and how they tug and poke at each other, and his understanding of the ways fear, paranoia, and loss turn us into people we might not like, let alone recognize."[12]
