On Allmusic, Lindsay Planer said, "Mickey Hart's Mystery Box harks back to [Rolling Thunder] with [Hart'southward] first album of pop-oriented material in nearly a quarter-century. He combines the seemingly disparate earth of percussion-based rhythms with traditional 'Western-fashion' structures containing lyrics by Grateful Dead wordsmith Robert Hunter. All the more various are the contributions of the Mint Juleps.... Their paradisaical harmonies support Hart'southward occasional leads, while they're effectively incorporated equally principal participants on the infectious groove..."[1]
In The Music Box, John Metzger wrote, "Overlaying the rhythmic sounds created by Hart, Giovanni Hidalgo, Zakir Hussain, Sikiru Adepoju, Babatunde Olatunji, and Airto Moreira are the sweet, soulful vocals of the Mint Juleps. What ensues is an album with more of a rhythm and blues feel than many Hart fans may be accustomed, but... persistence will pay off with tremendous rewards. Robert Hunter penned the lyrics to all of the songs on Mickey Hart's Mystery Box, and as with all of his poetic creations, the lyrics contain multiple meanings that will shift depending upon one'due south mood.... The Mint Juleps handle the Hunter-penned lyrics so skillfully that the ensemble substantially becomes a rhythm track of its ain.... In brusque, Mickey Hart's Mystery Box is a multi-dimensional anthology that contains many subtle rhythm and vocal textures."[two]
Roger Catlin of the Hartford Courant called the anthology "a surprising and enjoyable new management that marries [Hart's] complex sense of rhythm with the naturally appealing sound of contemporary soul.... Merely near the furthest thing from tie-dyed guitar-rock nostalgia every bit could exist imagined, Mystery Box pulses with life and zings with harmonious energy."[five]
