Lester Bangs of the RollingStone gave a mixed review, describing the recordings as "second-rate", but compliments the energy delivered with the performances, stating "Everyone is having a ball no matter how sloppy the music gets in fact its sense of errant energy with no place to go but up is part of its power. He also cited various parts of the record as "moving, parts are heart-breaking, and the rest is just great rock & roll". William Ruhlmann of AllMusic gave a positive review of the performances on the double- LP record, highlighting Joplin's raw vocal performance and her delivery of describing her life through her performance to her audience.
