It's the between-song banter that makes The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show worth its weight in gold.

Rolling Stone
DeLonge is one terrific little guitar player, the comic chitchat interludes are a sweet bonus for fans, and Blink-182 steal enough moronic hooks to make The Enema Strikes Back a hoot.

Spin
On this speedy live best-of, loads of smirky, self-deprecating one-liners about boobies, boners, and crooked wieners can't conceal the music's winning wistfulness. [12/2000, p.222]

Sonicnet
This collection is a sugar-high set, adrenalized even more than Blink's souped-up studio albums by the waves of Cheap Trick Live at Budokan-like female screams pouring from the audience. And the playing offers plenty of evidence to quiet anyone who thinks these guys are just three-chord wonders.... But young audiences love Blink shows in part for the wiseacre, self-deprecating quips, and this album is full 'em -- and not just between songs, as there are (count 'em) 29 extra tracks of banter lasting over 10 minutes at the album's end.

Wall of Sound
This is as base as it gets, friends, a frantic, frenetic, and unapologetically adolescent orgy of sexual and scatological tomfoolery.

All Music Guide
The Mark, Tom and Travis Show is indeed a real rock show and catches Blink 182's shameless personalities and childlike giggling about oral sex, dog semen, and masturbation.

Revolver
Unfortunately, the toidy humor isn't funny, and the introspective songs aren't that relevatory. [#3, p.105]

Entertainment Weekly
It's not that this wise ass trio of lucky punks make terrible music -- their crass, hyperkinetic tunes are just the thing for adolescents who find Green Day too intellectually challenging -- but this collection is wholly unwarranted from a band whose breakthrough album is barely a year old.

This cd is sooo bad ass...its sooo damn funny

Josh Blink gave it a10:
This is an amazing album why are critics so boring about what they think, music is entertainment, and punk rock is a great source of entertainment 4 teenagers

tim p gave it a10:
this, like all blink albums is a quality piece of non stop, never ending classic live profomance. Tom like always is a god on guitar, marks comments leave you laughing on the floor and travis' drumming is some of the best ever...........easyly a 10 out of 10 album.

B182'fan fan B182 gave it a10:
Perfect

Esteban F gave it a9:
The music is really awesome. It's Enema of the State + Some tracks of Dude Ranch, wich are the best blink 182 albums ever, and to make it more complete, it has some old, legendary tracks like Carousel, and introduces Man Overboard wich is, in my opinion, an amazingly good song, a great hit. It deserves the 10 in all the musical aspect, but when is the time of this guys to talk... no, guys, just no. It's just disgusting. There's a way to see when something has some profanity and when all the profanity becomes disgusting. Ask yourself this: Would my mom like me hearing this?. And the answer is, obviously, NO. I keep the music, but I leave the profanity and stupid dialogues in the shop. The first thing I would do is edit this CD, deleting all the dialogues. But I try to focalize in the music, and I almost did it.I'll give it a ten, but the "vocabulary" went too far this time.
