reception

Chris Conaton of the online magazine Pop Matters described Live at Brixton as a “well-made concert film by a band that gives their best on stage. The set list includes their entire career and would give anything to Mastodon fans what they need. " However, Conaton also criticized the setlist, which is no different from other concerts. Stephen Hardy of the online magazine Pure Grain Audio did not call himself a fan of live albums, but he still listened to the album six times in a day without getting bored. Hardy recommended the album especially to newcomers who can't go wrong with this album.
