Critical reception
In All About Jazz Doug Collette wrote, "Material both new (at the time) and familiar... leads to an abbreviated acoustic set that reaffirms the expert pacing.... Despite the lack of ingenuity in the camera work, the power of the Allman Brothers playing... is undeniable."[6]
On jambands.com Larson Sutton said, "Newest members Warren Haynes, Allen Woody, and Marc Quinones are exceptional in their abilities to assimilate and sparkle, each bringing a personal approach that echoes the group's inimitable sense of unity and expression, yet allows them to showcase their respective styles and skills."[7]
In American Songwriter Hal Horowitz wrote, "The seven piece delivers the blues rocking goods, looking particularly hairy yet inspired and sounding spirited, especially on a fiery "Hootchie Coochie Man" sung by Haynes and a short but potent acoustic section."[8]
