Music and lyrics

edit

At Christian Broadcasting Network, Hannah Goodwyn affirmed that "the 2-disc set features the group’s powerful folk-worship, acoustic guitar sound and special DVD footage, including a studio tour and guitar lessons from Shane Barnard."[2] Stuart Blackburn of Cross Rhythms highlighted that the release contains "accomplished acoustic guitar work provides the setting for stirring tenor harmonies that are so tight that you will frequently forget that this is live", and that the duo "present a worshipful set that combines lyrical simplicity with musical dexterity and hooks that penetrate."[3] However, Blackburn did find that "there's a technical glitch in that the sound and vision are very fractionally out of sync."[3]
