Chuck Thurston of The Detroit Free Press reviewed the August performance, noting the "frantic, always-in-motion harmonies" and superb musicianship of the backing band. The single for Reach Out Ill Be There had been released four days prior and went on to become a signature tune for the group, so they recorded a second show on September 11 of that year at the same venue, as well as a cover version of You Cant Hurry Love which was at the top of the charts at that time. Domestically, Four Tops Live! was a hit, topping the R B charts that year and ranking third in Billboard's Top R B LP's of 1967.
