Reception

Chad Bowar of Loudwire stated "Priest have released a plethora of live albums over the years, and Battle Cry is a worthy addition to that canon. It effectively captures this era of the band, who have aged extremely gracefully and show no signs of slowing down any time soon."[2]

Track listing

All songs written by Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, except where indicated.
