Explode[s] with musical vitality. [#15, p.97]

All Music Guide

The mix of the old, the new, and the unexpected... makes Live at Earls Court one of the most successful albums of Morrissey's career.

Mojo

Mozzer [is] in excellent voice. [May 2005, p.96]

Lost At Sea

In a way, re-releasing brand new material automatically canonizes it. You Are the Quarry received moderate praise, but listening to Live at Earls Court, you’d think his latest songs were some of his best, sitting comfortably next to Smiths classics like “Big Mouth Strikes Again.”

PopMatters

The true highlights of this CD are its more touching moments; the moments when the sincerity in Morrissey's voice and power of his music remind fans why they were drawn to him in the first place.

Pitchfork

Morrissey's singing appears to have taken a giant leap over the past seven years or so.

Q Magazine

He's still in lovely voice... and he deploys it on a selection of material that revels in past glories while showcasing his current triumphs. [May 2005, p.104]

Rolling Stone

Live at Earls Court isn't just an exercise in nostalgia.

New Musical Express

Time has proved Morrissey to be just as powerful and alluring a performer at 45 as he was at 23. [2 Apr 2005, p.49]

Trouser Press

The song selection is choice, and his band handles the solo material well enough (especially on “I Have Forgiven Jesus” and a showstopping “You Know I Couldn’t Last”), but a smattering of Smiths oldies doesn't help.

Uncut

At best superfluous, at worst that very thing he dreads most. Forgettable. [May 2005, p.113]

An eclectic mix of live Moz.... Really good, but the song which he does perform by the smiths aren't perhaps his best known ones, but nevertheless a great album

Rank and Beethoven were poor: This is the Morrissey Live album we have waited our whole lives for

Graham C gave it an8:
would love to hear more new songs. Seems to be milking it abit by releasing two live albums together. Still being a big fan since the smiths I do enjoy singing along to this album

Carlos M gave it a7:
Good album, but even when Morrissey's voice is in awsome form you can hear how it breaks at the begining of "Let me kiss you". Well, for some people that's a proof that everything was kept real for this album. But the lack of crowd noise and a slightly alarming weakness on the guitars (it's not Alain White the leadre guitar, but Mr. Tobias) makes this only a good album. Better renditions are on the DVD "Who put the M in Manchester".
