Critical reception
On All About Jazz, Doug Collette wrote,"If there's anything better than issuing a previously-unreleased recording of some kind, it's putting out a fully-restored piece once available only in part.... Prior to this DVD/2CD (or Blu-ray/2CD and limited vinyl) package, only portions of this November 1994 concert have been available in various formats, but this one compensates and then some."[3]
In Glide Magazine, Leslie Michelle Derrough wrote, "Coming near the end of the American leg, this particular show drew over 55,000 fans to see the iconic rock stars perform some of their most famous tunes – "Honky Tonk Women", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "It's Only Rock n' Roll" – for the first time without bass player Bill Wyman. Wyman had retired and Darryl Jones was just getting his feet wet as part of the Stones after time in Sting's solo band. Jones brought with him a funky ambiance, enabling the Stones to surf on some new rhythm waves."[4]
