In his Allmusic review, music critic Bruce Eder wrote of the album "the material is sung and played with lots of enthusiasm, which proves fairly infectious. This disc has more excitement than the trio's earlier Newport appearance, and a more interesting array of songs than Folk Era's Dave Guard-trio Stereo Concert Plus CD, though they aren't always quite as careful in their performance."
