Due to demands by the band's label, Warner Brothers, four of the tracks were edited for length.

The label's A & R manager, Joe Smith, is noted for saying he 'is proud that Warner Bros. Is introducing the Grateful Dead to the world.' The band used the collective pseudonym 'McGannahan Skjellyfetti' for their group-written originals and arrangements. The name was a misrendering of 'Skujellifeddy', a character in comic novel The Memoirs of a Shy Pornographer, plus the name of then-frontman Pigpen's cat.
In an era where true authorship (or public domain status) was more difficult to ascertain, 'Cold Rain and Snow' and 'New, New Minglewood Blues' were originally credited as band compositions, though they were adaptations of existing songs.A version with the full versions of five album tracks, plus six bonus tracks, was released by as part of the box set in 2001, and as a separate album in 2003.

As the book had become more widely read, some had mistakenly assumed that the band had taken their name from the quote:'We now return our souls to the creator, as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness. Let our chant fill the void in order that others may know. In the land of the night, the ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead.' They hadn't, and because Garcia worried that it seemed 'pretentious', and the band were uneasy about being seen as beholden to any specific philosophy or doctrine, they asked the artist, to stylize the script so that all but the band name were illegible. Critical reception Professional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingReviewing in 1967 for, called the album 'straight, decent rhythm and blues' and 'a perfect illustration' of 'a GOOD ALBUM, like those long lasting cold remedies filled with tiny time capsules which burst open at their own speed. Cuts that astound at first fade as subtle ballads emerge. Great blasts of noise vanish as haunting melodies appear.
A line suddenly hits home. A shade of meaning, and the whole album becomes something else again.' In 2007, The Grateful Dead was included on magazine's list of the 40 essential albums from 1967. In a piece accompanying the list, wrote of the album:“One of the year's few supposedly psychedelic LPs that wasn't actually a pop LP (cf, ), the already legendary San Francisco band-collective's debut stood out and stands tall because its boogieing folk rock epitomizes the San Francisco ballroom ethos — blues-based tunes played by musicians who came to rhythm late, expanded so they were equally suitable for dancing and for tripping out. It's also the only studio album that respects the impact of Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan, who died in 1973 of cirrhosis of the liver. McKernan's organ is almost as pervasive as Jerry Garcia's guitar. And although Garcia and Bob Weir both take vocal leads, their singing styles are still in Pigpen's white-blues thrall.”Track listing Side oneNo.TitleWriter(s)Lead singer(s)Length1.'
