How Sweet It Is is the second live album by the Jerry Garcia Band. Like the band's self-titled first live release, it was recorded in the spring and summer of 1990 at The Warfield in San Francisco, California.[1] It was released on CD in 1997, two years after Jerry Garcia's death. It was released as a two-disc LP on April 22, 2023.[2]
On Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "... How Sweet It Is captures the Jerry Garcia Band running through a selection of originals and covers. While it isn't as fluid or surprising as the double-disc 1991 set Jerry Garcia Band, which was culled from the same shows, it's nevertheless an entertaining set, especially for devoted fans, who will cherish previously unheard Garcia covers of songs like 'Think' and the title track."
In The Music Box, John Metzger wrote, "How Sweet It Is is the long-awaited follow-up to the two-disc Jerry Garcia Band set that was released in 1991. Culled from the same period of live performances, this effort delivers ten more songs that explore the magical relationship between Jerry Garcia, bassist John Kahn, and keyboardist Melvin Seals."
