Reception
writer Greg Prato claimed that "since On the Highwire skips the group's studio work with Hughes (British musician)|Hughes], fails to deliver as a true career overview", noting that the first disc "falls a bit flat" but adding that the second "fares much better, as it focuses on much stronger material".Personnel
