Upon release, Miller-Heidke said "Performing my songs for three nights in a row with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House was an absolute career highlight, a crazy pinch-myself moment that even now doesn’t seem quite real. The members of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra are a dedicated, passionate group of musicians and represent the pinnacle of what it means to devote your to life to music. To perform with them at your back is, to say the least, a little intimidating. I can’t imagine bungee jumping could be any more exhilarating."[1]
Madelyn Tait from The Music AU gave the album 3.5 out of 5 saying; "Australian singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke's classically trained voice and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra make the perfect combination. Her music (a blend of opera, folk and alternative pop) provides interesting material for an orchestral ensemble, but it works. Miller-Heidke's biggest pop hits like "Caught in the Crowd" and "The Last Day on Earth", songs from her short opera The Rabbits and her quirkier, comedic songs are all stripped back and fantastically, orchestrally reimagined." – adding, "Miller-Heidke's live album has it all."[2]
