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".
