"Like the rare tracks on the CDs, these live performances [on the DVD] offer a reminder that the Steve Miller Band could really cook in concert, and that reminder is reason enough for Welcome to the Vault to be of interest to listeners who aren't hardcore fans. At their best, these rare cuts offer an explanation of why the Steve Miller Band became one of the more popular American bands of their time".

"The primary emphasis and overriding theme, both for the music and for veteran rock writer David Fricke's accompanying 7,000-word essay, is Miller's love of the blues. Those who only know the singer/songwriter/guitarist's dozen or so pop radio hits from his mid-'70s heyday might not realize how deeply Miller has been affected by the genre. But established fans understand the enormous influence the music has on him. His last two albums, from 2010 and 2011, were devoted to blues and R&B covers, some well-known but most fairly obscure ... Still, if you're a fan with deep pockets, there's plenty of quality music here to keep you busy, at least until the next dive into Stevie "Guitar" Miller's substantial vaults".
