What a Night this was! The Venue was packed solid, many friends and fans turned out tonight, some traveling great distances as well. We were on top form, the crowd were amazing. This was really why we reformed, and now I'm so glad that we did! It was also a bit special as Paul joined Andy for a duet of 'Stranger to None'.

I found this review from Differentcolours Livejournal:

"After that, gothic rock stalwards All Living Fear took to the stage. Two men, a smoke machine and a DAT. It's like Rosetta Stone never left us. They clearly had a lot of fans (self included) in the audience, and former vocalist gashinryu took the stage for a duet on one of their tracks. It's nothing we haven't heard before, but the ALF boys are tight, competent, and uncomprimising in their old-skool widdly guitar image, and are good entertainment."

Morphs Livejournal said:

"All Living Fear: Great fun, definitely enjoying themselves. Smoke, much smoke. Paul's guest spot worked well, and Matt did the usual playing-guitar-behind-head. Now that Andy's back, do we get some new songs, though? The Widow's Blame stuff was in the set when I first saw them, at Heresy in '95 – then again, it was only a 30 minute set, and we did get 2(?) new ones, and I do like the old stuff..."

Review from Meltdown Magazine by James White:

"Next were veteran goth-rock duo All Living Fear, now back to their 'classic' line-up with the return of vocalist Andy Racher. Their set featured a little new material, but was mostly built around old favourites – tracks from Andy's first spell as vocalist, such as 'Jessica' and 'Crimson'. Some of the lyrics have definitely aged a little, if only because the subject matter's fallen out of fashion, but the songs still work well, at least partly because both band members were obviously enjoying themselves.

One track also featured an unexpected guest vocalist, with ex-member Paul Roe(now vocalist for guitarist Matt's other project, Corrosion), climbing out of the audience to join Andy for lively duet of 'Stranger to None'. It's good to see them back on form – but the big question now is whether they can build on this and play an equally successful set with more new material."
