"Despite the audio drawbacks, this set does paint a vivid picture of The Stooges in their terminal phase, self-destructively zooming towards oblivion without a backwards glance ... This is the sound of a band pushing already hostile audiences as far as they could and the tense, spite-ridden songs gave no respite. This is not a comfortable experience, but an essential one for Stooges fans, collecting the post-Raw Power material and telling the story of their demise. Like re-watching a disaster classic, just because we already know the catastrophic ending doesn't make the ride any less thrilling".
