Critical reception
Billboard picked the album for its "Spotlight" section. The magazine's reviewer noted that the album could "get across only some of the wild and uproarious action that [tookj place on stage" because "most of the funniest sequences [were] non-musical" and "[could] not be included" and wrapped up by saying: "LP's success will be strongly hinged to the show's own prospects, which currently seem bright."
