AllMusic	[1]

In a review for AllMusic, Rev. Keith A. Gordon gave the album 2 1/2 out of five stars and considered Rush's compositions "Tops", " All Your Love" and " Double Trouble" as the album's highlights. ^[1] However, he concluded, "The inconsistency of Rush's performance and the mediocre skills of the backing band make Live in Japan 1986 a mixed bag appealing mostly to blues completists and Rush fanatics." ^[1]
