He also praised the Steen and Generico-Young Bucks match, awarding it four and a half stars as well, and singled out Steen for praise, saying he was "great here selling the story of his knee injury".

also praised Steen's contribution to the show, saying he "put in an outstanding shift" and said the match was a "really superb tag" team match.
He touted Sweeney's return, saying it gave the show a "real feel-good factor", and praised the "crisp, at times cutting edge duos sequences" on show in the American Wolves-Briscoes match.
Campbell, however, criticized the live crowd at the show, saying it was the "worst NYC crowd" he could remember seeing at an ROH show.
Campbell felt the botched ending of the Koslov-Romero match detracted from the event, calling it "ridiculously amateurish".
All the reviewers criticized the sound production for the event. Radican claimed it was hard to hear the video packages on the internet feed due to the noise of the live crowd, and also experienced sound difficulties with the intermission match.
Campbell agreed, saying the sound for the Black video promo was "abysmal", and remarking that the audio issues made the show seem "very unprofessional".
ROH later said that the sound problems were due to GFL's equipment not functioning as it had during run-throughs earlier in the day.

ROH split the revenue with GoFightLive, and so received approximately $9,000.
ROH reported that the pay-per-view cost approximately $1,500 to air, and so they earned approximately $7,500 profit for the event.
