AllMusic reviewer Richie Unterberger stated: "A decent if somewhat low-key electric set, recorded in August of 1966. One of his better live bands, featuring support from Otis Spann and other members of Muddy Waters' group".{{AllMusic|first=Richie |last=Unterberger |class=album |id=mw0000864694 |title= John Lee Hooker: Live at Cafe Au Go Go – Review |accessdate= August 14, 2019}}
