[7.0] "The best PPV that TNA put on since the prior year's Turning Point, the company was firing on all cylinders at this point. The last three matches and Samoa Joe versus Chris Sabin were all fantastic bouts. In a vacuum, it's a wonder that TNA remained a second-tier promotion in this period, as it was a worthy successor to both WCW and ECW."

[8.0] "This PPV would've been perfect without the show long Jarrett stuff and the bad Simon Diamond tag match. Outside of that, every match on this show was great. Solid opener, great matches with AJ/Waltman, Super X qualifier, and the dog collar main event. Very good show. 8/10"

[7.0] "The high points were Joe/Sabin and Waltman/Styles, the low points were the weird crowd noise pipped in and the long running Jarrett stuff backstage. Oh and 3LK which is always beyond painful."

[6.0] "While a lot of this came off to me as something of a filler PPV, it's not without its moment. The X Division especially came off well - Joe's second TNA PPV match vs. Sabin was the best of the night, with Styles vs. Waltman exceeding expectations and Daniels vs. Williams also providing some good actions. Not an essential event, but not a bad one."

[5.0] "Some really good matches. Joe/Sabin being the best, didn't care for the main and thought Daniels/Williams was a bit disappointing.."

[8.0] "Good card for No Surrender 2005. Almost all matches were good, nothing really outstanding (but a 4 stars Daniels vs Williams). Even the 4 way match for the Super X Cup qualifications was acceptable. The roster was changing monthly, taking TNA to give more space to X-Division and wrestlers like Abyss with a great impact on the fans."
