Critical reception
In a review for AllMusic, Mark Deming gave Live in Maui a rating of four out of five stars. He noted the less-than-ideal recording conditions and added:
The Maui recordings don't find him [Hendrix] exploring much in the way of anything new, but he's in excellent form, playfully relaxed and fully engaged at the same time, and Mitch Mitchell's drumming is, as always, an excellent foil for Jimi's melodies and instrumental attack, while Billy Cox's subtle but solid bass anchors this music better than his predecessor, Noel Redding.[7]
