Ultimate Guitar gave a positive review saying, "It shows the entire band continuing to defy the laws of nature and rationality, as they dominate the stage with ever increasing power and passion that any fan will sit back in amazement at." Rustyn Rose of Metalholic said, "Epitaph is a must own DVD for any metal fan, and especially for the Judas Priest faithful." Johnny Churchill of Metaltalk.net talked about the cinema version, "Watching the DVD in a cinema is great fun and if you get the chance at home, then draw the curtains, crank up your TV to 11, sit back for two hours with a beer and just enjoy."
