The All About Jazz review by Clifford Allen states "In an age where all-star lineups, unique projects and sideman gigs are extraordinarily common, it's refreshing (if not downright jaw-dropping) to see a band that lasted nearly twenty years playing this music. 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."[3]

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."[2]
