Allmusic.com gave Playing the Fool a 3 star review:
This live album (originally a double LP but put onto one CD) was released in the wake of a single-disc bootleg of the same name taken off of an FM radio concert. The repertory includes lots of stuff off of their early albums, including the never-released-in-the-U.S. In a Glass House. The sound is very vivid and close, whether the band is rocking to “Just the Same” or recreating the medieval-style a cappella vocals to “On Reflection.”
