Sales pun, this time on Guns N' Roses 1991 albums Use Your Illusion I and II) were shelved. Gabrels later stated that the title was "a play on the fact that there are no original ideas". Both the title and cover artwork were panned by reviewers. Tin Machine Live: Oy Vey, Baby was released through London Records on 2July 1992 on different LP and CD formats, with the catalogue numbers 828 3281 and 828 3282, respectively. It became the first album Bowie released since his 1967 self-titled album to fail to chart in the UK; it also didn't chart in the US. Following its release, Tin Machine disbanded and Bowie quickly resumed his solo career with Black Tie White Noise (1993). Critical reception Tin Machine Live: Oy Vey, Baby received negative reviews from music critics. All Music Guides Mark Allender gave the album two stars out of five, finding that the songs did not translate well to a live setting. Paul Mathur for Melody Maker declared that with the album, Bowie "ceases to exist as an artist of any worth whatsoever". Pegg laments that the album suffered due to "ugly, indistinct packaging", "an unspeakably misconceived title", and an unimaginative playlist that included an 8-minute version of the "dreaded" "Stateside", all of which combined to lackluster sales and poor reviews. Still, he reserved some good judgement for the release ("it's not actually a bad album"). James Perone calls it Tin Machine's least essential album and "among the least essential handful of albums associated with Bowie", while David Buckley similarly calls it the least essential album of Bowie's entire career. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called the album "not enough to rescue the batch of underdeveloped songs that form the backbone of the record". Despite the negative reviews, Gabrels considered Oy Vey Baby Tin Machine's best release, telling Buckley: "That band was really about being a live band. It was a garage band on steroids with a big budget!"
