Critical reception In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "The late Bob Weir extolled the virtues of the Grateful Dead as a five-piece band, and sure enough, Dave's Picks Volume 58 boasts musicianship absolutely sublime in both its unity and intricacy.... And, if the overall impact that is this installment of the ongoing vault initiative is not quite the euphoric experience chief archivist David Lemieux describes in his essay in the sixteen-page booklet... it nevertheless comes pretty close."
