Three Minute Warnings was well received by critics. [9] AllMusic rated the album four stars out of five, calling it "a jewel of a concert album", and commented: "The fact is that they're so "on" for this show ... that it almost wouldn't have mattered what they played, as long as they played this way". AllMusic wrote that the guitars "crunch and cut away at folk-ish and country-like melodies, sounding a lot like a garage punk version of the Eagles". [2] Uncut and Mojo both gave it three stars out of five, writing that the live performance displayed "verve and commitment" [8] and "highlights why the Long Ryders mattered". [5] The Edmonton Journal described the album as "punk band energy, fused with clever pop craftmanship", and embellished with "countrified solos". [10] Exclaim! magazine felt that the album contains "stellar versions of their most well-known songs", adding that "it serves as a reminder that without them, Jason & the Scorchers, Rank & File, and others, alt-country wouldn't exist." [11] The Sunday Times described the performance as "loud, fast and impossibly tight ... fusing fragments of mythic Americana with a driving punk aesthetic, prophets without honour, playing for their lives."

The Matches are an American rock band from Oakland, California, active from 1997 to 2009.

Von Dahl Killed the Locals in 2003, then signed to Epitaph Records who re-released it the following year. Decomposer followed in 2006, seeing the band move from their pop punk roots in a more idiosyncratic direction with contributions from nine different record producers; it reached no. 18 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart.
