Thom Jurek of Allmusic awarded the album three stars out of five stars. He went on to state "Live at the Bohemia Caverns (in Washington, D.C.) was Lewis' second live date, and one that provided a blueprint for the later live dates that would put him near the top of the pop charts a year later with The In Crowd. The material on this set was very ambitious. This is a hip date...and like all of his Argo and Cadet live sides, should be chased down."[2]
