Reception

The DVD was reviewed by powermetal.de, which described it as truly impressive while noting that the concert was too short.[1] A reviewer at heavymetal.dk wrote that the music was delivered with precision and joy, however, he criticized the bonus section, saying that the Norwegian was spoken too fast to be completely understandable, and gave the DVD a 7 out of 10.[2] A reviewer from Vampster praised Enslaved for their good humor, stating that the DVD was a far from ordinary presentation of the band.[3]
