All About Jazz[3]
AllMusic[4]

Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote that "throughout, the sound is raw, warm, and full, and Gordie Johnson's mix contains no rounded edges", calling the album "a gift of gratitude to fans for a quarter-century of devotion" that "also makes a fantastic introduction to Gov't Mule, one of the finest hard rock bands ever".[4] Doug Collette of All About Jazz felt that "Haynes and company deserve more than a little credit for not relying on past glories, and accordingly, the earliest vintage selections, in the form of "Thorazine Shuffle," and "Blind Man in the Dark" are balanced with a clutch of numbers from the prior year's studio effort Revolution Come, Revolution Go".[3] Ryan Reed of Relix remarked that the "variety is staggering" and "no live album could replicate the collective catharsis of [Govt Mule's] live show, but Bring on the Music comes close".[5]
