Allmusic reviewer Cub Koda stated "Pulled from performances at the Chicago Blues Festival, Buddy Guy's Legends club with a couple of strays recorded in Lincoln, NE, that were too good not to include, this two-disc set captures Allison at the absolute peak of his powers ... Luther simply played his heart and spirit out right to the end and these recordings spotlight it in a very fine manner. One of the label's best".[3] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "the band is so well rehearsed that these versions of songs from the three previous Ruf/Alligator albums are easily the equal of the studio originals, apart from the longueurs of stage performance that don't translate to the living room. Rock-blues bombast is also present but for the most part kept in check".[4]
