The album is one of many Grateful Dead live releases to feature performances from 1977, widely considered a peak year for the band.[ 3] Material from the band's October 1977 shows was previously documented onRoad Trips Volume 1 Number 2 .
OnAllMusic Timothy Monger wrote, "Pristinely recorded by soundboard mainstay Betty Cantor-Jackson at the Paramount Theatre,Dave's Picks 45 comprises both concerts in their entirety as the Dead cook through classic combos of the era in fine form. They even drag out a few oldies, playing their first "Dupree's Diamond Blues" since 1969 and re-introducing the eternal "Casey Jones" back into the canon after a three-year absence."[ 4]
