E! Online

This album contains just eight tracks--but each one of them is a testament to the unshakable power of the group.

PopMatters

These eight tracks positively bristle with energy and exuberance.

Entertainment Weekly

Why limit this disc to just 40 minutes? [7 Dec 2001, p.105]

80

Rolling Stone

If their recent studio work has been distinguished by additive, layer-by-layer composition, in concert Radiohead's magic comes from subtraction: The elegy "Like Spinning Plates" relies almost entirely on Yorke's famously anguished voice.

Q Magazine

Its charms are bound up with the subtle pleasures of listening to these songs anew and re-understanding their make-up. [#184, p.127]

80

Pitchfork

While some moments are absolutely stellar, I Might Be Wrong is only a shadow of what a Radiohead live album could have been.

New Musical Express

'I Might Be Wrong' sounds significantly better than both of the studio albums that spawned it.

Blender

Far from the usual collision of greatest hits and "Hello, Cleveland"-type bluster. [#4, p.122]

80

Dot Music

'I Might Be Wrong' is Radiohead trashing the notion that 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' were difficult and sterile studio bound affairs.

Mixer

It's amazing that a band renowned for studio wizardry can succeed at duplicating, much less eclipsing, its magic onstage. [Jan 2002, p.76]

70

Billboard

Such uniformly dark material makes one long for a tune or two to lighten the vibe.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Though marred by characteristically unrevealing packaging and inexplicable brevity, I Might Be Wrong casts new light on the band's much-examined recent material

Nude As The News

Sounds how Radiohead should sound live: brutal (the cacophonous sample layering in “Everything in its Right Place”), catchy (the bass line of “I Might Be Wrong”), danceable (the beats on “Idioteque”) and mesmerizing (the simplicity of “True Love Waits”).

All Music Guide

An uneven and incoherent set of "Kid A Sessions" material that is sometimes strong but sometimes uninspired.

Uncut

A vague air of missed opportunity hangs over this frustratingly short snapshot. [Dec 2001, p.124]

Mojo

It's a puzzler.... Given brilliant execution, no doubt we'd still have come out with out hands up. Instead, it's patchy and the worst comes first. [Dec 2001, p.114]

calvin i gave it a 9:
great live renditions of their electronica songs give the songs more life and rock energy(especially the version of "like spinning plates") but the only thing that keeps this album from getting a ten is the fact that thewy have an incomplete version of "true love waits". I absouluteley love the song (it's my all time favorite) but it's different from the first version cuz it lacks the keyboard melody, which made the song so much more special, giving it a techno feel that was actually bueatiful. but this album has the acoustic only version, not the acoustic and keyboard version, and the latter it such a better song because it;s proof that songs with sonic landscapes can be bueatiful and touching. I love "true love waits" but i loved the one wwith the keyboard so much more.

Michael E. gave it a 7:
Radiohead adds live to its songs what the albums may have lacked: pure rock n roll energy. And they don't even bother to reproduce the extensive studio effects. But it's so short and limited!

Steve Y. gave it a 6:
I have been a mad Radiohead fan since the release of The Bends, this is the first Radiohead CD that has disappointed me. The great live versions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits are almost worth the money on their own for Radiohead fanatics, but the other 6 tracks are nothing special, I prefer the album versions. The main reason I rate this so lowly is that it's such a missed opportunity. I have a hard disk full of bootleg Radiohead MP3s of their various live and unreleased tracks. There are dozens that I think are much better than the tracks on I Might Be Wrong. The live version of National Anthem Radiohead used is one of the least interesting I have heard. Only putting 8 tracks on the CD doesn't seem very generous when you consider how many great Radiohead recordings are around. If there were a few more unreleased tracks, b-sides, or maybe some live versions of OK Computer songs then I would have given this a much higher rating.

Philippe S. gave it a 10:
radiohead at it's best-LIVE-!!the blend of crowd noise and different beats redefines most of the bad critic that this band have endured in the past. a must buy!!!

Eric D. gave it a 10:
Proof that critics are silly, and fail to admit their inacuracies with so-called "reviews" (more like unfounded opinions) of Kid A and Amnesiac. And that goes for those who were favorable too. Silly music critics.

Anna H. gave it a 10:
All of Radiohead's music is good. Very sensual.
