On [[AllMusic]], Timothy Monger said, "Later [in 1973, the Grateful Dead] would launch their record label with the release of their sixth studio album, ''[[Wake of the Flood]]'', and... [they] were still honing a number of that album's cuts here, including the luminous "Here Comes Sunshine" and the lovely "Stella Blue". An air of poignant uplift surrounds parts this Philadelphia show – included here in its entirety – which took place just a couple of weeks after the death of founding member [[Ron "Pigpen" McKernan]]."<ref name=AllMusic/> |

In ''Glide Magazine'', Doug Collette wrote, "No inclusions are more striking, however, than the segues of "He’s Gone"{{spaces}}> "Truckin'"{{spaces}}> "Jam"{{spaces}}> "Dark Star"{{spaces}}> "Sing Me Back Home".... Concluding the string with the doleful likes of [[Merle Haggard]]'s song is an ideal set-up for the celebratory air the band conjures up immediately after: "Sugar Magnolia" is a deservedly exhilarating transition at this, one of the group’s favorite venues."<ref name=Glide/> |
