Allmusic.com gave Robin Trower Live a 4 1/2 star review:
An excellent recording of a superb 1975 stadium show in Sweden, Robin Trower’s Live album is a perfect snapshot of the guitar hero in his prime. The record also gives ample evidence of why the Robin Trower Band was one of the most successful live guitar rock acts of the ’70s, highlighting not only Trower’s virtuoso Stratocaster licks, but the soulful vocals of bassist James Dewar and the polyrhythmic drumming of Bill Lordan. … Although none of the performances stray too far from the songs’ studio versions, that fact is part of what makes this album interesting. Live shows the Robin Trower Band to be a quintessential no-frills blues-rock band, capable of kicking serious ass no matter what the setting.
