Reception

George Palathingal of The Sydney Morning Herald commented that "Some bands' sets tended towards the pedestrian when playing their own material but each featured a sparkling cover, a guest spot or two, a classic of their own or combinations thereof." Liz Giuffre wrote on The Conversation that "Most of the performers mixed their own music with covers. The pattern made a great novelty for trainspotters in the crowd, but also rewarded long-time listeners with fun trips back through the songbook." Sunshine Coast Daily wrote that "Last week’s Beat The Drum Festival in Sydney’s Domain to celebrate 40 years of Triple J on our airwaves was nothing short of spectacular."

The CD release peaked at #10 on ARIA's Album Chart, and the DVD reached #2 on ARIA's Top 40 Audiovisual chart. Kate Tala wrote in the Newcastle Herald that the CD and DVD were "jam-packed with an incredible string of guest appearances and unforgettable covers."
