Francesco Marano of Zumic gave the album a positive review, writing that "...you can hear, and almost feel, the band’s energy through the night" of the 2014 New Year's Eve concert.^[5] Marcy Donelson of Allmusic gives a more mixed review, that although "over-sung and over-played... their performance has the uplifting infectiousness of a gospel choir."^[4]
