Reception


Cash Box magazine said "This fine live package was recorded partly in Australia with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and partly during The Little River Band's 1979 North American tour, it is a splendid show- case of this versatile band's talents as the Aussie fivesome swims deftly through a sea of styles — folk, rock, country and A/C."[2]
