Critical reception

Holly E. Ordway from DVD Talk website commented positively on Lavigne’s performance, stating that Lavigne “moves from one song to the next with minimal fuss, focusing her concert performance on her music rather than putting on an ‘act’ in general”. The audio quality of the DVD was assessed as unsatisfyingly monaural, less immersive than Lavigne's CDs. Ordway was critical of the bonus features on the DVD, believing that they would only interest a “devoted teenage fan”.^[1]
