In his review for The Source Chris Wild wrote "BDP fans should buy this album. So should anyone who is interested in what a real hip-hop show sounds like." [9] Mark Cooper of Q Magazine noted that the release "features KRS-1 (sic) at his hectoring, militant best in front of audiences who are too often rather subdued in the mix". [8]
