AllMusic

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. 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."
