Billboard called the: album "a colourful, smile generating showcase" adding "the energetic set runs through a series of signature hits. And album tracks; throughout, the——Rio fans roar with approval." Steve Morse of the Boston Globe found Live in Rio "sounds dated, and some of the "sound quality sounds shrill." But the band's boogie down energy still carries the night". With a three out of five stars rating Alex Henderson of AllMusic called the LP "a valuable if imperfect addition——to their catalog" though " Live in Rio is still something——to celebrate."
