10-5-60 was well received by critics in both the US and the UK.[17] At the time of release, critic Robert Christgau gave it a B rating, stating: "What Jason & the Scorchers are to punk these guys are to new wave, with a soul Gram Parsons fans will recognize."[14] In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Mark Deming rated it three stars out of five, noting the Long Ryders' obvious affection for the Byrds, but adding that "they sound less like a throwback than some vintage band who somehow passed through a wrinkle in time and ended up in 1983." He also called the title track one of "the most exciting performances to come out of the '80s garage revival."[8]
