Background.
On August 20, 2020, Asbury hosted the "To Love a Fool" Album Release Show, celebrating the successful release of his third studio album, "To Love a Fool" (2020), which had been released in late July, with Dante Bowe as the guest artist opening the event. Bethel Music premiered the concert film of the album release show on their YouTube channel on October 23, 2020. Asbury then released the album release show recordings of the songs for download and streaming on November 6, 2020.
Critical reception.
Jonathan Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review gave a positive review of the album, concluding that the album is "full of wonder and awe, full of joy and heartfelt emotions as this 10 track live album (20 if you include all of the live music videos available to stream and purchase on Apple Music, alongside the audio recordings of the live album experience) showcases, verbatim, what "To Love a Fool" would sound like, live. Yes, these 10 tracks are the exact same as Cory's studio recording of the album in July 2020, and even though this album per se doesn't bring anything original or new to the table of Cory Asbury songs, the album nevertheless is still good, reminding me that for an artist to be great, means for them to sound just as good live as they do in the studio, and "To Love a Fool — A Rooftop Experience" is no exception."
Commercial performance.
In the United States, "To Love a Fool – A Rooftop Experience" launched at No. 20 on "Billboard"'s Top Christian Albums Chart dated November 21, 2020.
