Writing for Ultimate Classic Rock, Gary Graff stated that BBC Sessions "a welcome adjunct and a study in how consistently strong and exciting the group has been while handling changes - both subtle and dramatic - in its sound."[4] Ian Winwood of Kerrang! rated the album four out of five stars, calling it a "collection of impossibly fluent songs delivered in momentary fashion."[5]
