Fred Thomas ofAllMusic called the album "grainy" and that the band was captured "in their earliest, roughest form, working out songs heavy on organ stabs and blues riffing". He described it as "spirited jamming" and a "particularly sharp" club performance. The performance of the "Iron Butterfly theme" was regarded "a high point" on the record. The audio quality was "on par with other obscure, audience-recorded artifacts of its era bypsych bands likeThe Electric Prunes and others".[1]
