Critical reception
In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave Band of Gypsys 2 an "A–" and said he preferred it over the original Band of Gypsys (1970) record because it lacks the "brotherhood bromides" that were on that album's second side. He added that the versions of classic Hendrix songs on this record's second side "sound a lot fresher now than they would have fifteen years ago, and not just because pressing techniques have taken such a leap".[1] Paul Evans gave the album three-and-a-half out of five stars in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (1992).[2]
