Ultimate Classic Rock
From the Mars Hotel might give off a more inert vibe than previous Dead albums, but there’s no denying the tunes have the feel only they could produce from the universe they had carved out for themselves. If anything, the record represented a new chapter in the band's existence. It showed they were ready to get down to business both literally and figuratively.

All Music
From the Mars Hotel, while not a classic, represents one of their better studio albums. This album is highly recommended for fans, but casual listeners should start with American Beauty or Workingman's Dead.

Sputnik Music
The Grateful Dead From The Mars Hotel contains numerous amounts of songs from many of the bands fantastic live performances. There is a very small amount of okay to bad songs. The rest are obviously great. Also, the album contains songs ranging from one emotion to the next. Surprisingly, each expresses the feeling fabulously.

Progrography
Viewed against their larger body of work, From The Mars Hotel is a nice place to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live on a desert island with this as your only Dead disc.

Low Upside
The track is a jazzy, blues rocker with a generic chorus. Though sonically unique, From the Mars Hotel, feels like another transition album. There are moments that feel like what the band sounded like in 1970, but moments of where they sound like where they would be in 1976.
