Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing on AllMusic, said, "... the repertoire... doesn't distinguish this show as much as its muscular, elastic snap, where the band is equally eager to delve into funky murk and launch into outer space.... the real pleasure of the Fresno 1974 show is how it showcases everything the Dead could do at that moment—the burnished folk, the old-time rock & roll, the country and funk—and shows that the band was still finding ways to turn the whole thing inside out and back again."
