Reception

Hal Horowitz of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, praising both the musicianship and the technical aspects of the release writing, "The material from the 2005 album the group was touring to support is a taut combination of prog, world, folk, and rock that twists and turns and sometimes shifts to experimental but ultimately stays on terra firma. The Surround Sound is impressive and only the overly busy camera work -- few shots last for more than five seconds and the handheld, angular approach gets old fast -- detracts, if only slightly, from an exciting, stirring, and energetic gig."
