Critical reception

Jeff Jenkins from Stack Music called it "a splendid live album" saying "the strings send their soulful sound soaring".[6]

Dylan Marshall from The AU Review said "Live at Hamer Hall isn’'t a traditional live album in the way you'd normally expect a 'live' album to be recorded, and it's for this reason the album doesn't quite reach the heights you'd hope it would. Sure it's polished and sounds outstanding, but lacks the body and vibe you'd want and hope for from a live album".
