Richard Marcus of Blogcritics noted that Earth, Wind & Fire: In Concert was "everything I could have hopped [sic] for".[5] Heather Phares of Allmusic gave the DVD a three out of five star rating and exclaimed that "In Concert should please diehards looking to add another EW&F concert video (along with Live in Japan) to their collection." Jeffrey Kauffman of DVD Talk proclaimed "EW&F cut such a wide swath through so many genres in its heyday that this concert DVD may well appeal to an audience outside of core EW&F fans. Though it's a bit dated, the music is so strong that any occasional silliness in the visual presentation is easily overcome. Recommended."[6]
