Critical reception

On jambands.com, Larson Sutton wrote, "This is a celebration, and a fittingly fantastic one, with a comprehensive 55 songs played over three nights, only one repeated, and several special guests on hand to toast the Brothers."
On AllMusic, Dave Lynch said, "The Fox Box sold out its initial 2004 run before being re-released in late 2005.... The Fox Box showcases practically everything that the 21st century Allmans could present at their most epic, revealing a band in astoundingly good shape 35 years after its founding."
In the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Wade Tatangelo wrote, "While a bit much for the casual Allman Brothers Band enthusiast or newbie needing a shot of At Fillmore East, The Fox Box is a fun, thrilling ride that shouldn't be missed by any self-respecting fan. It’s nearly nine hours of music that never loses its relevance and focus... Yes, from the opening "Mountain Jam" to the closing "Whipping Post", it's a smile-inducing journey."
