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>{{cite web|author=Mike DeGagne |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/i-cant-stand-still-mw0000190305 |title=I Can't Stand Still – Don Henley | Songs, Reviews, Credits |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=2016-07-18}}</ref>
''[[Cash Box]]'' said of the title track that "using the same organ that made “[[Dirty Laundry (Don Henley song)|Laundry]]” so unique, Henley weaves the chords through a ballad about a guy’s bitterness over his lost love’s new find."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Reviews|magazine=Cash Box|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1983/CB-1983-01-08.pdf|date=January 8, 1983|accessdate=2022-07-07|page=8}}</ref> ''Cash Box'' also said that it's "a slow, dramatic, organ-dominated tune that’s almost, but not quite, [[reggae]]" and that Henley's vocal tingles with a jealous edge as he sings of his lover’s 'undercover' relationship."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Reviews|magazine=Cash Box|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1982/CB-1982-10-23.pdf|date=October 23, 1982|accessdate=2022-07-07|page=8}}</ref> [[Allmusic]] critic Mike DeGagne called it "a trouble-in-paradise love song, [that] has Henley pouring his heart out with sugary angst, but is helped along with some avid keyboard work."
