  1. This is a good document of Morphine's excellent live show and displays the energy and passion that they played with during the tour that supported their breakthrough album.
  2. 80
    Concise and compelling, Bootleg Detroit is a sonic snapshot of Morphine basking in its best virtues.
  3. Even the dubious choice to make an official live album out of a lo-fi audience recording proves a good one. A little added echo goes a long way for Morphine's spare sound, and fills in the blanks far better than a crystal clear soundboard recording ever could.
  4. The Wire
    80
    This recording attests to their powerful rock credentials. [#201, p.63]
  5. Edited and mixed with Sandman's oversight prior to his death, Bootleg: Detroit was taped by a Morphine fan at the band's March 3, 1994, show at Detroit's St. Andrew's Hall, capturing the band and its hyper-aware fans at the height of pleasure.
