Reception

Allmusic awarded the album three stars stating "Live at the Bohemia Caverns (in Washington, D.C.) was Lewis' second live date, and one that provided a blueprint for the later live dates that would put him near the top of the pop charts a year later with The In Crowd. The material on this set was very ambitious... This is a hip date".^[2]
