Critical reception

Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "After the release of Dancing Diva, Jolin Tsai has completely become a 'darling' in the market. Sony, which had made a lot of profit from the release of the greatest hits album J-Top in May, made a commercial decision on 'live' this time. With the heat of Jolin Tsai's second world tour, this live and remix album was released. It is just a compilation of the classic J1 World Tour and previously unreleased live tracks, as well as a re-release of several old songs that had been included in film's soundtrack, it can be said that the tracks on the album were pieced together. Unfortunately, the label's tricks have long been exhausted, and didn't accepted by the market."[16]
