Apr 5, 2023In more ways than one, these renditions fulfill the duo’s ambition to avoid just cranking out the hits.

Apr 5, 2023Most of the extraneous contributions are little more than negligible. ... Any live album that showcases their classics—and, as in this case, makes room for some newer offerings as well (“All and Chain,” “Tea and Theatre,” “Hero Ground Zero”) is, by degree, an essential additive to the band’s continuing catalog. So too, both Daltrey and Townsend are in fine form, and clearly up to the task of presenting the group’s catalog in the best light.

UncutApr 5, 2023For all the widescreen grandeur and fresh perspectives of the orchestral arrangements, they're curiously at their most rousing when just voice and acoustic guitar embellish "Won't Get Fooled Again". [May 2023, p.38]

Apr 5, 2023The Who integrate the orchestra quite seamlessly throughout the performances, especially during an extended segment focused on Quadrophenia material; the orchestra helps Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey summon a bit of the old Who's flair for bombast. Even so, the moments on the record that cut the deepest are when the band plays without the orchestra.
