Critical reception.
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Previously unreleased and culled from the band's own 24-track master tapes, the July 12 &amp; 13 shows from 1989 occurred during what many fans consider to be one of their strongest late-period runs. Still enjoying the heightened commercial success from their 1987 hit "Touch of Grey", their repertoire of classic set staples and newly embraced standouts like "Hell in a Bucket" showed a band firing on all cylinders."
In "All About Jazz", Doug Collette wrote, "... the two performances that comprise this package deserve to stand on their own terms as final evidence of this tour as part of the last thoroughly stellar string of concerts the Grateful Dead offered before a variety of extenuating circumstances impeded the climb to such heights as contained here... There's no question the perfectly-proportioned mix of John Cutler's recording, equally broad in scope and deep in range, renders the experience virtually real-time..."
