Critical reception
The set was reviewed in CD-ROM magazine.
Wuthering Heights is still an extraordinary song and Bush’s astonishing warble combined with her Home Counties gothic princess persona was a heady audio-visual cocktail. The superbly-encoded VideoCD underlines just how attuned Bush was to the then embryonic medium of rock videos, helped in no small part by her training in modern dance. (…) One gripe, though. The whole package was woefully short on any background information, even omitting to tell you in what year each track was recorded or the album from which it was taken. For twenty quid a throw, consumers have every right to expect a little more effort on the presentation front.
paul Nesbitt, CD-ROM, October 1994
