"Trods den omfattende instrumentering bliver det aldrig pompøst, men i stedet prikker det store orkester kun delikat smagfuldt til de smukke sange. Og med den fremragende Cut The World føjet til sangskatten kan man roligt lade dette fremragende live-album finde plads ved siden af de andre udgivelser fra Antony og hans Johnsons".

"With symphonic live arrangements, this album is a transfiguration of Antony and the Johnsons' tracks and when the new arrangements work particularly well they re-awaken old songs, breathing new life into them".

"[Antony]'s rarely sounded so transcendent than on this exquisitely beautiful album recorded live in Copenhagen with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. The previously unreleased title track aside, it's essentially an artfully compiled greatest hits set. And while this isn't the first time that Antony has worked with an orchestra, most of the songs appear here in dazzling new arrangements ... A powerful, intimate, sumptuous delight in which the orchestra enhances the innate grandeur of Antony's music. His lyrics may betray a sense of offbeat irony, but there's nothing kitsch about these symphonic readings of his ecstatic piano ballads. This is deep soul music in excelsis: abandoned, heartfelt, utterly sincere. It sounds like a forgotten Hollywood musical written by a depressed romantic; a Disney Morrissey swathed in torch song and spotlight".
