Upon release, Marcy Donelson of AllMusic praised the "well-curated mix" of songs on the album and described Bell as giving an "emotive performance".[1] Classic Pop considered the live material a "nostalgic celebration" and highlighted Bell's "entertaining interjections". They concluded: "It's abundantly clear, as the World Be... trilogy concludes, that Erasure have lost none of their sparkle."[3]
