Reception
The live album received mixed reviews. Mark Deming of AllMusic describes the band's performance as "little short of remarkable", noting how "nearly everything sounds like a winner as these musicians spin gold from their leader's singular pop hooks". According to Matt LeMay of Pitchfork, the album "seems like an average night out for late-era Guided by Voices", where the band hits are "played no better and no worse than usual".
