The Brad Mehldau Trio's two-disc Live album receives three and a half stars from the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It is way cool to follow the flights of pianist Brad Mehldau and his trio on this live two-disc recording," says the Inquirer. "Mehldau proves he can weave a groove as well as anyone. It's satisfying to hear him pick intense lines in some remote corner of a long tune or pile on one note repeatedly, because his rhythmic drive is so strong."

The Brad Mehldau Trio's two-disc Live album receives three and a half stars from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Reviewer Karl Stark writes:

It is way cool to follow the flights of pianist Brad Mehldau and his trio on this live two-disc recording. Laboring over six nights at New York's fabled Village Vanguard in October 2006, Mehldau proves he can weave a groove as well as anyone. It's satisfying to hear him pick intense lines in some remote corner of a long tune or pile on one note repeatedly, because his rhythmic drive is so strong.
