Besides Winter, the group included guitarist Rick Derringer and bassist Randy Jo Hobbs, both former members of the McCoys, and drummer Bobby Caldwell. (Caldwell had replaced ex-McCoy Randy Zehringer after the group recorded their self-titled studio album a few months earlier).

The album was one of Winter's most successful on the album charts in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. A single from the album, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" backed with "Good Morning Little School Girl", was his highest showing on the U.S. Hot 100 chart. In 2010, additional songs recorded during the same tour were released on Live at the Fillmore East 10/3/70.

Christgau's Record Guide	B−

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Bruce Eder noted that, although the album was recorded during the tour to promote the group's recent studio album, it "is weighted very heavily toward Winter's covers of well-known rock & roll numbers ... But for all of the musical virtues (and obvious joy) that Winter and company bring to those standards, the most interesting cuts here are 'It's My Own Fault' and Winter's own 'Mean Town Blues'."

Robert Christgau found fault with "Mean Town Blues", however, he felt "this is what every live album ought to be and all too few are: loud, fast, raucous, and to the point".
