Awarding the album three stars at CCM Magazine , Grace Aspinwall states, "not as creative; but, overall, the project is uplifting and the recording is clear and wellarranged." [2] Amanda Furbeck, giving the album five stars from Worship Leader, writes, "this album reveals the beauty and authenticity of a worshipping congregation." [7] Rating the album four stars by New Release Today, Kevin Davis says, "you need to add Live to your worship music collection." [6] Jonathan Andre, signaling in a three and a half star review for 365 Days of Inspiring Media, describes, "Paul still delivers a powerful set list, and one that’ll always showcase some of the most underrated songs within CCM worship industry right now." [1] Indicating in a five star review at Christian Music Review, Jay Heilman replies, "Live...further cements himself in the upper echelon of worship artists whose sole aim is to worship alongside us lifting up the name of Christ." [3] Jono Davies, assigning the album four and a half stars from Louder Than the Music, responds, "the heart of the album is all about pointing the listener to Jesus, and these songs do that with style, passion and heartfelt singing." [5] Allocating a four star review for the album from The Christian Music Review Blog, recognizes, "it's a good album...Might have been better as an EP – strip it down to the best 5 songs, because several of them start to blend together too much."
