*''[[Rolling Stone]]'' (January 20, 2000, pp.&nbsp;57–59) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...create the most crowded, ceiling-rattling basement rec room in rock....[in its] sheer awesomeness...the live performance succeeded....the monster numbers benefit from supersizing. The effect is more one of timelessness..."<ref name="RS"/>
*[[Spin magazine|''Spin'']] (February 2000, pp.&nbsp;114–5) – 8 out of 10 – "...makes their tempo and texture dynamics...into a topic in and off of itself, a deep evocation of bad-voodoo creeping willies culminating in 'One' and 'Enter Sandman'....Freed from ritualized superhuman extremism, it builds a soundtrack to everyday life."<ref name="CDUniverse"/>
*''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' (December 3, 1999, p.&nbsp;102) – "Buttressed by grim strings, creaky horns, and thundering timpani, staples...creep with fearful new dimension, like an old Posada print come to life." – Rating: B<ref name="EW"/>
*[[Q magazine|''Q'']] (February 2000, p.&nbsp;86) – 3 stars out of 5 – "...another just about forgivable flirtation with [[Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap]]-esque lunacy....a fine hit-heavy live LP with bolted-on bombast from the S.F. Symphony....Michael Kamen's scores swoop and soar with impressive portent throughout."<ref name="CDUniverse"/>
*''[[CMJ]]'' (December 20, 1999, p.&nbsp;24) – "...stunning....orchestral renditions of hits from the band's '90s output."<ref name="CDUniverse"/>
