Pitchfork	9.0/10 [9]

On Pitchfork, Jesse Jarnow said, "Though Cornell '77 is neither the Expressionless's most audacious nor creative performance, it also remains arguably the Best E'er for several indelible reasons. Perhaps chief among them is that it is alive Grateful Dead at its about accessible, with the Dead sounding vivid and tight and full of pep, characteristics shared by all 4 shows on May 1977: Go Shown the Light. Compared to most Grateful Expressionless shows, Cornell '77 (and its chronological neighbors) are excellent places for (some) newbie listeners to kickoff."^[nine]
