Critical reception

On allmusic Sean Westergaard wrote: "This set should impress those unfamiliar with Roxy and will surely thrill longtime fans. It's a fine testament to this band that these songs sound timeless rather than dated nearly 30 years down the line in many cases. After nearly two decades away, Roxy Music prove that they still have plenty of style and plenty of substance".

On bbc.co.uk, Nigel Bell stated: "Roxy’s reunion might have been short lived (who knows?) but this is evidence that the band members can still compete with their younger upstarts".
