reception

Jenny Rönnebeck summed up for Rock Hard that after almost 20 years “it is now high time for the first double live album and the first DVD”. The album shows “a great show thanks to the great cast, with which guitarist Reb Beach” is particularly enthusiastic that boasted hits like Easy Come, Easy Go and Miles Away , but also with newer material from the last album. However, it could have been "produced a little more forcefully". Both the album and the DVD were fun.

Matthias Mineur wrote in a review of the DVD in Metal Hammer that the women standing in the first rows at the concert should have "endured rough hard rock". The band rock their way "through a selection of their most important pieces", present " Down Incognito and Easy Come, Easy Go in a modernized version" and make it clear that they seem "even more lively on stage" than on their studio records.

Anton Tsuji wrote for cdstarts.de that the tracklist was “really nothing to complain about.” Reb Beach in particular proves with his performance that he “just has it”. It is gratifying that "the hairspray not only disappeared from the hairstyles of the band members, but also from the arrangements". The songs looked "a lot rougher and therefore fresher than their counterparts on the old albums."
