Release

The DVD was released with a few bonus features such as a photo gallery and 5.1 surround sound.^[1]

Critical reception

PopMatters' Patrick Schabe stated that the album "gathers up 24 of Al’s videos and a couple of television clips to assemble the video output of a career of tongue-in-cheek oddball comedy." Going on to state that "In some ways, from a fan's perspective it's disappointing that Al's originals were never as popular as his parodies of other artists, but it’s hardly surprising."^[2]
