Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Later [in 1973, the Grateful Dead] would launch their own record label with the release of their sixth studio album, Wake of the Flood , and... [they] were still honing a number of that album's cuts here, including the luminous "Here Comes Sunshine" and the lovely "Stella Blue". An air of poignant uplift surrounds parts this Philadelphia show – included here in its entirety – which took place just a couple of weeks after the death of founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan." [4]

In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "No inclusions are more striking, however, than the segues of "He’s Gone" > "Truckin'" > "Jam" > "Dark Star" > "Sing Me Back Home".... Concluding the string with the doleful likes of Merle Haggard's song is an ideal set-up for the celebratory air the band conjures up immediately after: "Sugar Magnolia" is a deservedly exhilarating transition at this, one of the group’s favorite venues." [5]
