Reception

Bruce Eder from AllMusic wrote, "Live at the Talk of the Town is an extraordinary album, as well as the group's final effort together as a continuing organisation, recorded during an engagement at the renowned London restaurant/theater just a week before the quartet was dissolved. It features the group in uncommonly loose-limbed form, having lots of fun with the audience, quite obviously enjoying the performance they're giving, and throwing themselves into it head first; after four years of whirlwind international success, perhaps they knew it would be their last hurrah and their only live recording." adding "[it] is still extremely rewarding almost 40 years later".[1]
