    With 33 tracks stretching well over two hours, A Reality Tour isn't exactly suited to single-sitting listening. It's also far from a genuine greatest hits collection, though it certainly does feature a number of Bowie's most-loved songs. But it is a great document of one of the world's most inspirational recording artists.
  2. Rolling Stone

    Nobody really knows if Bowie is hanging up the spacesuit for good, since the man has been periodically announcing his retirement since 1973. But if so, this is one hell of an exit.
  3. All Music Guide
    60
    This is Bowie in his mode as a crowd-pleasing professional, playing with considerable charm and skill, offering no surprises but plenty of pleasure: it's not the first album that will come to mind when thinking of live Bowie, but as it's playing, it's hard to resist.
