writing for Entertainment Weekly described the video as "deadly dull" and as having a "wimpy sound mix" before awarding it a 'D' grade. Eamonn McCusker reviewed the DVD version for The Digital Fix, and was also critical of the video's production, describing it as an "uninspired recording". "Many fans will be disappointed with this video," warned Barry Weber for AllMusic, criticizing their tendency to overdo it on stage.
