Critical reception
Tomas Mureika of AllMusic gave the accompanying live CD a positive review, stating that "Tyler is -- at heart -- an amazing live performer and this is a great chronicle of her abilities." His only criticism was that the majority of songs performed were her most recent work, stating that he would have preferred more of "the masterpieces Tyler created with Jim Steinman."
