Allmusic.com :
"While the sound quality leaves something to be desired, fans of electric Chicago blues should hear Magic Sam Live. Recorded at two separate locations ... this disc captures the raw energy not only of the musicians, but the crowds' tremendous response to them. ... Ignore the rotten sound quality, this is raw blues power and provides a priceless document of Sam Maghett's vital showmanship".[5] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "The gig tapes ... are of indifferent quality but they can't mask the energy coming from the bandstand. Sam was a talented guitarist but that was merely an adjunct to the forceful personality projected on his vocals ... Sam sweeps all before him, accustomed to leading from the front and grateful if musicians keep up".
