The album had a moderate reception. "With E Street ringers focusing on Bruce's 'solo' material...," said
Entertainment Weekly, "Well, we won't go there." The song played on the show were relatively intense renditions, as highlighted by Springsteen's vocals and much of the instrumental accompaniment. The sombre, folk-oriented "Atlantic City" was played in a rock setting, with a rhythm intro on electric guitar as well as Springsteen's solos on the outro. Springsteen played outro solos on most of the rock songs, including "Lucky Town". The album reached number 4 in a seven-week run on the
UK chart. In 1997, five years after the concert was recorded, the album was rereleased in the US and appeared for the first time on the US charts, peaking at number 189 on the Billboard 200. The recording of "
Thunder Road" from the concert was nominated for a
Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
