91Explode[s] with musical vitality. [#15, p.97]
-
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.
-
80The 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.
-
80Mozzer [is] in excellent voice. [May 2005, p.96]
-
80In 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.”

78Morrissey's singing appears to have taken a giant leap over the past seven years or so.
-
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]
-
70He'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]
-
Live at Earls Court isn't just an exercise in nostalgia.
-
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.
-
40At best superfluous, at worst that very thing he dreads most. Forgettable. [May 2005, p.113]
