The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states "This selection of live duet performances from 1972 is a wonder to listen to three decades after the original performances. The guitar's greatest improviser bantering musically with the Netherlands' greatest drummer is, no doubt, a point of interest for those interested in the extremes of Western music".[3]
Writing for Bells, Henry Kuntz commented: "Live At Verity's Place is the type of meeting that, due to the very stylistic differences it showcases, tends to push the music into unusual areas, stretching the musicians' abilities to the fullest. It's the type of meeting upon which the growth and expansion of improvised music depends."[4]
