John Fordham of The Guardian rated Live 4/5 and said, "...The folksier episodes echo Gilad Atzmon's brand of eastern-influenced world music, and the eager confidence and fluency of the way Rahman's solos break out of the themes confirm her ascent to an impressive new level."[3]

Chris May of All About Jazz rated the album 4/5 and said, "Hard swinging and outgoing, Live is an infectious goodtime album and provides a valuable record of where the Zoe Rahman Trio was at in early 2007..."[1] The Scotsman rated it 3/5 and said of the album, "Sound is good if a little recessed in places, but the energy and imagination carry the day."[2]
