In reaction, Bruce Eder's Allmusic review of this album stated: "It is also a slightly less honest release the original, where 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed' is concerned — Dowd edited the version here together from two different performances, first and second shows, the dividing line being where Duane Allman's solo comes in." C. Michael Bailey of All About Jazz also stated that the 1992 "The Fillmore Concerts" represented "digital editing" combining multiple takes of "Elizabeth Reed" onto one track. Dave Lynch of Allmusic later said that of the 1992 editing, that "Duane's 'Liz Reed' solo, although from the same take used on "At Fillmore East", is mixed lower than on the version listeners first heard in 1971 — as a result, the power and beauty of the solo doesn't stand out quite as effectively."
