In a review at AllMusic, Rick Anderson described Live in Trondheim, Berlin & Limoges, Vol. 2 as "arrythmic ... without anything approaching melody", but "never unapproachable". He added that there is "something sweet-natured" about the "weird, sumptuous and virtuosic noise" Cutler and Frith make, and felt that even listeners not partial to noise music should have no trouble appreciating the "textural complexity" of their "endless inventiveness".[1]
