Sonicnet reviewed the show, writing "the warmth on display as [the Corgan's] played two blues songs perfectly suited the occasion," and that "it was clear from their screams of delight that most of the crowd had come to see the Corgans." They added that "Corgan Sr.'s face beamed a mix of pride and pleasure as his son took off on a series of Pumpkins-esque solos on his sunburst Fender Stratocaster."[1]
