Criticism

In general, the reviews of 10th Anniversary Live were quite positive. Kristisiert was only occasionally the " skinny scope " of the DVD, as it contains only the concert without any bonus material. However, the DVD has sold very well, in particular in Finland, so that she could enter at # 2 on the Finnish Music DVD charts in early July.

Stefan Popp of metal1.info presents in his review as weakness out the extent of the DVD, but recommends they both fans and curious. He closes his conclusion with the words " Good music, good entertainment, Ensiferum pure. Sweet, cute, personable and fun " and assigns 7.5 out of 10. Arlette Huguenin from Webzine Vampster the DVD called, although as a success, but also criticized the narrow scope. A further point of criticism leads Adam of metal- observer.com with too softly blended audience, and that this rarely looks at. Overall, however, he praises the DVD, it is recommended both for Ensiferum and genre fans and awards 8.5 out of 10.
