Trouser Press called it "a nicely-presented live document". [3] Allmusic critic Ned Raggett wrote: "Ending with a fine version of "God Bless America"[ sic ] and the new, slow-grinding "Omnipotent," Omniscience is yet another excellent addition to Swans' body of work." [1]
All tracks are written by Michael Gira, except "Black Eyed Dog," written by Nick Drake.
