The album received mostly positive reviews.

The Powermetal.de website gave From A to W 8.5 out of a possible ten points:

“The focus [...] is on the concert in Berlin. [...] The result can be seen or heard: Captured by dozens of cameras, with fast zooms and sharp close-ups, you have the feeling of being right in the middle of a sweaty gig. […] The highlight of the double DVD should certainly be the tour documentary: Stephan in Sid Vicious pants, bare torso and natural fur, half-naked girls with a sprayed-on W logo, jam sessions with weird guitars, an IRON MAIDEN warbling one Weidner, the Metal Cheers as a heat-up for the W-Kombo, the collapsed barrier in Osnabrück and an angry tour guide Thomas Hess. [...] Despite a few minor flaws, Stephan Weidner throws a pretty fat item on the market. An eye-catching concert recording, a successful tour documentation and insights into the mastermind's thoughts. "
