Allmusic.com gave Exit…Stage Left a 3 star review:
The album turned out to be the polar opposite of its predecessor, 1976’s raw and direct All the World’s a Stage; in fact, the performances often sound identical to the recently released studio versions. The contagious energy that helped make All the World’s a Stage such a success is muted, replaced by workmanlike renditions that border on the uninspired. There’s no denying the high quality of the songs selected — “Spirit of Radio,” “Tom Sawyer,” “Xanadu,” “The Trees,” “Closer to the Heart,” “Jacob’s Ladder” — it’s just that the performances rarely catch fire. Compared to Rush’s three other concert albums (the aforementioned All the World’s a Stage, 1988’s A Show of Hands, and 1998’s Different Stages), Exit…Stage Left is probably the weakest.
