At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received a score of 92, based on 11 reviews which is categorised as universal acclaim. Thom Jurek's review on Allmusic stated "The charts are loose but focused, and the group's improvisational dynamic is breathtaking, entirely different each night. Davis is exceptionally strong. His playing is inventive, full of questions and muscular statements".PopMatters', Matthew Fiander gave the album 10 out of 10 saying "It was a time of turmoil, but for Davis’s music, turmoil was a state of creation, and these four nights give us four distinct and brilliantly built storms"The Observer's Dave Gelly said "It certainly gets close to chaos at times, but these live shows often did. From that point of view at least, it's truly authentic".
