Said Noisecreep of the band's last live excursion: "...if the band put any more stacks on the stage, it just might have collapsed." Added Popdose: "SLEEP was fucking killer and who knows what the future holds... if you get a chance, they are well worth your time and money...be prepared for one of the loudest fucking things you’ve ever heard." Rolling Stone Brazil gave the band's performance a perfect 5 out of 5 rating while Redefine Magazine noted: "SLEEP, despite being broken up for over ten years, seemed like they hadn't missed a beat -- and Holy Mountain never sounded so good in the process. This was the definitive show of the weekend, if not the definitive show of my year."
