Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing on AllMusic, said, "In his brief liner notes for his 15th pick, historian/vaultmaster Dave Lemieux claims April 24, 1978 as the dividing point between the tightly honed 1977 Dead and the looser 1978 Dead. That April 24 concert at Normal's Illinois State University saw release in 2013 as the seventh Dave's Pick, but this 2015 release captures a show at Nashville Municipal Auditorium from just two days earlier, so it follows that the Dead are in similarly fine form.... All and all, it's a really good, surprisingly energetic show."
