Critical reception

In Glide Magazine Doug Collette wrote, "Garcia Live Volume 16 may be the ideal entry in this ongoing archive series to provide the curious music lover eager to comprehend the virtues of the Jerry Garcia Band.... [Garcia] is equally expressive through the selection of tunes by his favorite composers plus an eclectic range of other song choices, consistently vigorous vocals... and, last but not least, versatile and inventive guitar work."
