Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger wrote, "A somewhat legendary taper's classic, the band's second night at New Jersey's 80,000 capacity Giants Stadium in the summer of 1991 was a predictably unpredictable behemoth lauded more for its oddities than overall cohesion. Boasting the relatively short-lived two-man keyboard battery of Bruce Hornsby (piano, accordion) and Vince Welnick (synths), the show's lush tonal palette was a hallmark of this era.... Dark Star"seems to exist as more of a spiritual undercurrent, spurring on other improvisations, some of which get quite heady." Doug Collette of '' All About Jazz'' commented: "Garcia's guitar playing is pointed and precise, while his navigation of the ensemble is careful, purposeful and rife with surprise in both selection of song(s) and the segues between them." He noted: "this setlist is full of material through which the late cultural icon speaks or tenders implicit personal observation that add weight even to otherwise slight songs like 'Loose Lucy'."
