The Portuguese music journalist João Santos calls the video album "a great picture with great sound" for his review in the daily newspaper Público. He also notes "Eric Clapton having a fantastic performing ability", which is presented "in full circle" in the music movie. Santos also likes the "various special guests either singing or playing" on In Concert: A Benefit for the Crossroads Centre at Antigua. He rated the release with five out of five stars.[2] AllMusic critic Heather Phares calls the track listing "a somewhat routine selection of Clapton's hits" and adds that "his collaborations with the aforementioned guests add some interesting twists". For his review, Phares notes "the unusual combination of Blige and Clapton […] works surprisingly well". Coming to the conclusion, the AllMusic critic thinks the release "is not Clapton's most inspired concert video and the disc offers little in the way of extra features, [but] still may please his hardcore fans". Phares awards the concert film three out of five possible stars.[3] Critics from the music website Guitar Nine liked the Dolby Digital surround sound.[6] Music journalists from Examiner.com called the release "great".[7]
