On
Allmusic, Lindsay Planer said, "The quartet is led by
Jerry Garcia and features longtime Garcia associate
John Kahn (bass),
Melvin Seals (keyboards),
David Kemper (drums), Gloria Jones (vocals), and Jackie LaBranch (vocals). The selections accurately image the wide spectrum of
pop,
R&B,
rock and
soul covers Garcia and company played circa the late '80s and early '90s.... Garcia's rush upon rush of incendiary fretwork equals the verve in practically any
Grateful Dead rendering during the early '90s. However, the primary focus is divided between the superior choice of material and equally adroit execution.... The initiated and initially curious alike will find much to enjoy and discover throughout Jerry Garcia Band."[3]
