Critical reception

Malaysian newspaper The Star gave the set a positive review, saying that "At 55, Marie Fredriksson may not sound like how she used to anymore", but that longtime fans would be pleased with her "energetic performance ... it's good to know that she hasn't lost her mojo." They praised the performance of "It Must Have Been Love" as the album's best song, saying that Fredriksson "lets the audience sing the song for her before launching into a rocking performance of her own."[2] Swedish publication Aftonbladet was also positive, rating the album three out of five.[3]
