Hugh Fielder, writing for "Classic Rock", also commented on the recording problems, which led to the Maui recordings being passed over for years in favor of Hendrix's performances at the Atlanta International Pop Festival (1970) (latest release "", 2015) and Isle of Wight Festival 1970 ("Blue Wild Angel", 2002). However, he noted that "[n]ow the latest digital audio technology has enabled them to be brought up to scratch (almost)" and gave the album three and a half out of five stars. But, he felt that "[t]he second set is looser and in danger of falling apart at times, before Hendrix wakes up and rips through "Stone Free".
