Reception
The album received favorable reviews from critics. John DiBiase, of Jesus Freak Hideout, gave it 4 stars out of 5. He criticized lead singer Mark Stuart's vocals qualifying them as "noticeably poor... due to Mark Stuart's vocal ailments. It's evident here as to why Stuart had to hang up the mic." However, DiBiase still praised the project overall calling it "a project that fans can embrace as the final 'hoorah' for one of Christian rock's finest."Live from Hawaii: The Farewell Concert on Jesus Freak Hideout; DiBiase, John (8/26/07)
