Allmusic.com gave Live at the Apollo, Volume 2 a 4 star review:
The first volume of Live at the Apollo [1963] captured the R&B fury that would single-handedly define the soul music genre. While this volume reveals Brown’s updated stage show, it more importantly offers another prolific observation into the future of R&B — funk. It would be nearly two years before Brown would discover the likes of Bootsy Collins and ultimately form the J.B.’s. However, as Live at the Apollo, Vol. II testifies, “soul brother number one” is already submerging his band into more extended musical tangents, bobbing and weaving within a tight framework. …Brown’s percussive, heart-attack inducing call and response will leave even the most unflappable enthusiast slack jawed.
