Allmusic's retrospective review stated that "Even if it's a byproduct of the associated DVD recorded at the same August 2004 San Francisco gig, this is a lively and professionally performed show that makes up in soul what it lacks in spontaneity." They found the renditions of the songs to be generally strong, particularly the blues-based tracks ("Ask Me 'Bout Nuthin' but the Blues," "Runnin' Blue", and "Loan Me a Dime"). They also applauded the removal of the "rather forced between-song patter very present in the DVD". [1]
