All Music Guide
As the man who wrote Pink Floyd's lyrics, he is far more concerned with their meaning than his old bandmates, and you can hear that in his singing, which is emphasized without robbing the music of its magisterial power. In fact, with a band boasting several guitarists - primarily Doyle Bramhall II, Andy Fairweather Low, and Snowy White - to make up for the lack of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Waters effectively recreates the sound of his Pink Floyd work.
Read Full Review >Wall of Sound
Bereft of the spectacle that is Pink Floyd these days, it's hard to work up much enthusiasm for still another round of new versions of old classics.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone
There's admirable sonic purity to these live recordings, but that only underscores the astonishing lack of verve in the performances.
Read Full Review >Q Magazine
A couple of hours negotiating the treacherous whirlpools of Waters's fears, paranoia and loathing can still prove a slog, mind, no matter how stately the settings.

Tim K. gave it a9:
lacking the backup vocals of gilmour this album wasn't quite as good as the original tracks, but I enjoyed it greatly, but when I can I still listen to the original Pink Floyd.
Josh D. gave it a6:
I am a huge fan of the old and new floyd, this recording has some moments but unfortunately rogers voice has failed to hold up over the years... regardless, he is still a genius.
Roger E. gave it a10:
Pink Floyd personified. Musical theater. Waters doing what Waters does best....setting the stage for a group of professionals to do their best with some of the best pop material ever written under Water's direction. Simply amazing arrangements. Yes, I have 'Pulse'. This is better.
Jeff R gave it a10:
An awesome DVD from the consumate showman Roger Waters. The musicians are top shelf and the whole band is awesome together. Waters shows his passion is still 100% there.
Lynn M gave it a2:
A sad imitation of what Pink Floyd used to be. Without Gilmor, instead if that Elvis impersonator, playing lead with some feeling, everything came across as a look at an artist going down the tubes with age.....a real shame.
Carl M gave it a9:
Excellent set and excellent performances. Waters holds the essential ingredient for Pink Floyd. Much much better than Pulse, which is so deadpan its only value for me was to demonstrate that Waters is the only Floyd member who could not be replaced.
laird j gave it a10:
Brilliant. Old Floyd, new Waters, everything is just spot on - better than Pulse, without a doubt.
