Critical reception
Music critic Keith Harris of Rolling Stone magazine wrote "Aging rock and pop stars often seek a late-career safe harbor in country music, but 62-year-old Cyndi Lauper tackles the genre with characteristically daring eccentricity."
John Paul of PopMatters wrote "Not entirely successful yet not entirely without merit, Cyndi Lauper’s work on Detour is just that: a detour from the norm and an attempt at finding something new in something old."
The album debuted at No. 4 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, selling 16,100 copies in its first week. It also debuted at No. 29 on Billboard 200. The album has sold 36,800 copies as of September 2016.
