    Explode[s] with musical vitality. [#15, p.97]
  2. 80
    Mozzer [is] in excellent voice. [May 2005, p.96]
  3. The true highlights of this CD are its more touching moments; the moments when the sincerity in Morrissey's voice and power of his music remind fans why they were drawn to him in the first place.
  4. The song selection is choice, and his band handles the solo material well enough (especially on “I Have Forgiven Jesus” and a showstopping “You Know I Couldn’t Last”), but a smattering of Smiths oldies doesn't help.

    An eclectic mix of live Moz.... Really good, but the song which he does perform by the smiths aren't perhaps his best known ones, but nevertheless a great album Expand

    Good album, but even when Morrissey's voice is in awsome form you can hear how it breaks at the begining of "Let me kiss you". Well, for some people that's a proof that everything was kept real for this album. But the lack of crowd noise and a slightly alarming weakness on the guitars (it's not Alain White the leadre guitar, but Mr. Tobias) makes this only a good album. Better renditions are on the DVD "Who put the M in Manchester". Expand
