AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote "George Thorogood hasn't changed his sound at all since his first live album, the aptly-titled Live. That's not necessarily a bad thing -- his beer-stained bare-bones boogie has always satisfied his fans and it is never lacking in energy, particularly when he is stoked by the enthusiasm of a live crowd. But that doesn't guarantee that Let's Work Together Live will be a successful, enjoyable record. Quite simply, that energy does not translate to tape very well, leaving Let's Work Together curiously unengaging and somewhat distant. There are good moments scattered throughout the record, but it never pulls together into a cohesive album."[1]
