Reviews edit
The show was given a positive review by Björn Finér from TVDags who called it a "welcoming cozy-sullen return".[1] In his review of the accompanying album, Joacim Forsén from Aftonbladet positively highlighted Scocco and Jonsson's unpretentious DIY spirit by including the recorded "junk" parts in the show, creating a "unique easy-going after-party atmosphere of unpretentious shots and a playful botanization among genres".[2] Mathias Jensen from Gaffa called Mauro & Pluras tågluff their most becoming production.[3]
