''Live in Vilnius'' is a fitting document to close out their run, and while not any more or less a jewel than the other 17 releases, it's an excellent final chapter."<ref name="AAJ">Allen, Clifford.

A reviewer for ''The Free Jazz Collective'' wrote: "I'm sure you've experienced music that blows your socks off when you first hear it, and then you listen to it again and again, and it gets better all the time. This double vinyl album is like that."<ref name="fjc" />
