On All About Jazz, Doug Collette wrote, "This latest entry in the ongoing archive series features is an unusual selection of tunes, at least insofar as this concert's position in the iconic band's timeline. The now-famous songs that debuted in England and elsewhere the next month are conspicuously absent here ("Jack Straw" is an exception), in place of which appear no less notable numbers such as "Truckin'", "Wharf Rat" and "Sugar Magnolia" plus a clutch of showpieces for keyboardist/vocalist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan."
