Billboard called the album "a colourful, smile generating showcase" adding "the energetic set runs through a series of signature hits and album tracks; throughout, the Rio fans roar with approval."[3] Steve Morse of the Boston Globe found Live in Rio "sounds dated, and some of the sound quality sounds shrill, but the band's boogie down energy still carries the night".[4] With a three out of five stars rating Alex Henderson of AllMusic called the LP "a valuable if imperfect addition to their catalog" though " Live in Rio is still something to celebrate."[2]
