Reception

edit

The album received critical acclaim. Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter wrote that the record "shows Allman not only hasn't lost any steps musically, but he just may be near the top of his game."[2] Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic praised the casual nature of the concert, commenting, " there are hits, but not enough for this to be an oldies revue; there are obscurities, but they don't distract; there is virtuosity, but no showboating; there's stylistic diversity, but it feels unified – and that's why it's worth experiencing: it's an old pro whose home is a stage, no matter where that stage is and who happens to be on it."[3]
