"Not every performance is memorable, and the absence of younger fans is a missed opportunity - where's Conor Oberst? But the way that Browne's songs braid verbose emotions with melody remains magical".

"There are several other noteworthy performances on the two-disc set, including Lucinda Williams' bluesy offering of "The Pretender", Karla Bonoff's quietly romantic "Something Fine", Paul Thorn's heartfelt but controlled take on "Doctor My Eyes", and the oddly successful collaboration between Marc Cohn and Joan as Police Woman on the noirish "Too Many Angels". No bad cuts stand out, although one might question whether every song is really necessary. A tighter presentation on a single disc might have been better".
