Vulture 's Lindsey Weber felt that fans knew most of the details about the special due to the release of many clips prior to its premiere . She considered Minaj 's appearance as one of the special 's biggest changes and praised the scenes shot in slow motion as well as those showing the pair 's daughter . In a positive review for '' Elle '' , Isabella Biedenharn called the special a " predictable Carter propaganda " with many " lovey scenes " occurring onstage between the pair and went on to praise Beyoncé 's energetic performances . Jethro Nededog in an article for '' The Wrap '' opined that the " ' us against the world ' imagery " in the special denied rumours about the pair 's divorce . He chose the performance of Lauryn Hill 's " Ex-Factor " by Beyoncé as a show highlight . Chris Eggertsen from HitFix noted that most of the viewers watched the special because Beyoncé was featured in it . '' The A.V. Club '' s writer Joshua Alston deemed the special a tribute to the pair 's romance and felt it was " handsomely shot ... offering the next best thing to being there for anyone who could n't get a line of credit approved in time to buy the exorbitant tickets " , while further praising the concert itself . He went on to laud the pair 's chemistry on the stage and during their joint performances . However , he finished his review in a more mixed note , writing " But for anyone who 's more interested in the Carters the less pristine they appear to be , '' On The Run '' is like being served a 60-pound steak after you 've already filled up on sizzle . " The concert special was nominated in the category for Best Music Film at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards
