All Music Guide: Under a Blood Red Sky
Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review: "these live versions, while less textured, are considerably tougher than their studio counterparts and illustrate quite effectively why U2 were considered one of the best, most exhilarating live bands of the '80s." 3 out of 5 stars.
Rolling Stone: Under A Blood Red Sky
Christopher Connelly's review: "this eight-song minialbum, culled from their last tour, gives ample evidence why people have been calling U2 the best live band of 1983." 4 out of 5 stars.
