Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing on AllMusic, said, "If any Dead show could be called a full-on party — when they get to the concert-closing "Werewolves of London", it feels like a triumph — it's this, and while the good times are infectious, what lingers is how the band is exceptionally tight on this night. Whether they're boogying to blues and rock & roll or stretching to the edge of space, everybody feels in sync and the results are exhilarating." [6]
