Years later, mixed reactions over ''Another Side of Bob Dylan'' remained but not for the same reasons. Critics later viewed it as a 'transitional' album. Clinton Heylin claimed that "Dylan was simply too close to the experiences he was drawing upon to translate them into art. He was also still experimenting with the imagery found on 'Chimes of Freedom' and 'Mr. Tambourine Man.' 'My Back Pages,' the least successful example of the new style, was replete with bizarre compound images ('corpse evangelists,' 'confusion boats,' etc.)."{{sfn|Heylin|2011|p=163}} ''[[Salon.com]]'' critic Bill Wyman dismissed it as "a lesser, 'relationship' album", but conceded that "Chimes of Freedom" was a "lovely hymn to the 'countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse'."<ref>{{cite web |last=Wyman |first=Bill |date=May 22, 2001 |title=Bob Dylan |url=https://www.salon.com/2001/05/22/dylan_3/ |website=[[Salon.com]] |access-date=December 1, 2024 |archive-date=September 20, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240920185132/https://www.salon.com/2001/05/22/dylan_3/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

However, Tim Riley called it "a bridge between folkie rhetoric (albeit superior) and his troika of electric rants{{nbsp}}... a rock album without electric guitars, a folk archetype that punches through the hardy, plainspoken mold. Built on repeated riffs and coaxed by the controlled anxiety of Dylan's voice, the songs work off one another with intellectually charged élan. It's a transition album with a mind of its own."{{sfn|Riley|1992|p=85}} It was voted number 133 in [[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]'s ''[[All Time Top 1000 Albums]]'' 3rd Edition (2000).<ref name="Larkin">{{cite book|title=[[All Time Top 1000 Albums]]|editor-first=Colin|editor-last=Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=2000|edition=3rd|isbn=0-7535-0493-6|page=84}}</ref>
