AllMusic described the performance as a "heart-wrenching cry about the physical suffering caused by the AIDS plague being compounded by the shameful arrogance of self-appointed moralists."
Trouser Press described it as "sepulchral, breathtakingly dramatic and, in the best possible sense, appalling".
It was placed on Terrorizer's list of the "100 Most Important Albums of the Nineties".
