Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic noted that the set offers "something for everyone -- from longtime fans to neophytes". Birchmeyer reserved special praise for disc 4, a 1990 concert at Wembley Arena in London. He described the concert as "amazing" and noted the studio separation of the guitars, and an appearance by Sean Harris of Diamond Head.^[3]
