At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 73, based on 12 reviews.[3] Critic Robert Christgau rated it highly for the live performance, but criticized it for only containing album tracks, including 11 from her previous album, 2003's World Without Tears. In his written review, Christgau stated "There's no point questioning Lucinda Williams's talent, or her perfectionism. Of course her first live album sounds dandy. There isn't a bad song or performance on it. Unfortunately, there isn't a new song or performance on it either".[4]

AllMusic rated the album 4 out of a possible 5 stars, writing "as Williams searches through the nooks and crannies of her songs, you sense she's discovering things that she didn't expect to find, and it's a tremendous thing to hear," concluding that she "is an artist who writes from her soul, and she's thoroughly unafraid of letting her passion show when she sings. If that makes for strained technique, it also results in very real art, and this album offers a privileged glimpse of a singular songwriter in full flight".[1]
