All About Jazz reviewer Karl Ackermann stated, "e.s.t. live in london asks that we once again consider the magnitude of this trio. Their body of work has helped to broaden the definition of jazz, as it has not been redefined again in the passing ten years. ... It is a trio that, a decade on, seems to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. e.s.t. live in london is highly recommended and an essential for collectors who believe that jazz is meant to be a fluid, shifting genre".[2] On the same site Geno Thackara noted "this splendid release should bring a ray of happiness to old and new listeners alike. e.s.t. live in London captures the band on a magical evening when everything went right".[3] On London Jazz News, Adrian Pallant said "with e.s.t., there was always the sense of leaping ahead over conventional boundaries, each new release or gig introducing engaging sonic blends, all delivered with enthralling technical prowess. For aficionado or newcomer, e.s.t. live in London has it all, in glorious technicolor".​ [4]
