Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote that the show is "best experienced visually, since the audio element can be a terror to listen to without the added dimension of the visuals" as watching it, one can be distracted from the fact "Floetry sound a lot better in studio form". Kellman also remarked that the "live arrangements are competent enough, but they're not all that exceptional, and they often seem to be present only for the sake of musicality (as in, 'See -- we write songs; we don't make tracks')." Kellman also felt that "Marsha Ambrosius is all over the place vocally, taking every possible opportunity to let some screeching, cracking melisma run wild. This takes away from the song in every case. And if it weren't for the track indexes on the CD, it would often be a challenge to determine where one song ends and where the next begins, given all the interludes, outerludes, redundant chit-chatter, and general noodling around."[1]
