  • Reception

    Kevin Bryan of the Derby Telegraph called it "richly rewarding". Christel Loar of PopMatters rated it 6/10 stars and recommended it to Procol Harum fans who had not seen the concert, though she criticized the sound quality. Uncut rated it 3/5 stars and wrote that Brooker's voice has "not altered one iota" since 1967.
