Critical reception

On AllMusic Timothy Monger said, "Heading down the coast to Los Angeles for a September show, the band builds on some of the songs and combos they'd worked out earlier that year on the famous Europe '72 tour.... There are solo cuts from Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, a lengthy and very psychedelic "The Other One", and a classic closing suite of "Casey Jones" / "Sugar Magnolia" / "One More Saturday Night"." ^[2]
