Critical reception
In a contemporary review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann describes the album as "the best recording of [the musical] since the Who did the original". But, he continues, "the bad news is that Townshend has radically rethought his ideas in 24 years, and rewritten nine songs to reflect his many changes of heart. Artists rarely improve their work by changing it years later."
