Critical reception
No Depression wrote that it "has to be one of the most effectively you-are-there live albums ever recorded."[4] Record Collector wrote: "One of the highlights is [Wells's] between-song talks, a feature of his intimate live work which is captured here in full."[5] The Seattle Post-Intelligencer called the album "notable for great guitar work from journeymen Phil Guy and others."[6]
