==Critical reception==
[[Robert Palmer (American writer)|Robert Palmer]], music critic for ''[[The New York Times]],'' was surprised by ''I Can't Stand Still'' and wrote that it "rings with the righteous indignation of a man who has taken a good look at what's going on around him and decided at least to speak his mind about it...The record doesn't offer any solutions, but how many pop records do? ''I Can't Stand Still'' scores points for its palpable anger; for its lean, stripped-down arrangements; for the lack of self-indulgence in the playing, the production and Mr. Henley's soaring vocals, and for its overall point of view, which links the disparate songs together and gives the album an admirable coherence. As far as this listener is concerned, it's better than anything Mr. Henley did with the Eagles."<ref>{{cite web|author=Robert Palmer |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/04/arts/the-pop-life-060195.html |title=The Pop Life |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=2021-01-26}}</ref>
Reviewing retrospectively for [[AllMusic]], critic Mike DeGagne has written of the album, "Henley's first solo album may still have had the ghost of the Eagles lingering in the corners, but for the most part it showcases his stalwart partnership with producer and songwriter [[Danny Kortchmar]]," and then added "Henley's adept combination of lyrical wit and thought-provoking staidness begins to materialize on ''I Can't Stand Still'', paving the way for an extremely accomplished solo career."<ref name=allmusic>{{cite web|author=Mike DeGagne |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/i-cant-stand-still-mw0000190305 |title=I Can't Stand Still – Don Henley
