reception

criticism

The album got a medium review from Jose F. Celebrities from Allmusic :

"The material sounds great live, her voice as always a technical marvel, but with three live import CDs already on the market, and with some songs repeated, this album is destined for collectors. However, the album's allure is the fact that it was recorded before she became a massive superstar (in the US anyway) in the mid-to-late 1990s. The liner notes and all segues are in French. "

- Jose F. Promis ( Allmusic )

2.5 stars were awarded.
