CCM Magazine stated that this CD "powerfully commemorate all that we have come to love about this band" and that it will enter "into the annals of Christian music history". Dave Wood, reviewer from Louder than the Music website emphasizes the visual aspect: "Superb camera shots flow perfectly with a great mix of close ups and long shots...". It describes the DVD as a "worthy representation of the exquisite live Delirious? experience". Cross Rhythms gives the album an 8 out of 10 note. However it points that "it's hard not to feel a tinge of disappointment" as the album is not "sonically pleasing and well-rounded as some of their output in the past". Jesus Freak Hideout reviewer Kevin Chamberlin has also mixed feelings. Although it praises the lighting as "spectacular", the video editing is "somewhat choppy and slightly cheesy" with "pretty standard" camera angles and close-ups. However, he says that overall it is "an intriguing, engrossing experience".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
