PopMatters

Never mind the tattle in the press, the live show proves that the rumors are true. The music speaks for itself. The Gossip is the real deal.

Urb

This live album may provide an aperitif for those who've never seen the band perform. [May/June 2008, p.93]

The Onion (A.V. Club)

The live format suits Gossip well.

All Music Guide

It's intriguing that Live in Liverpool is the Gossip's first release for Columbia's Red Ink imprint--it's not exactly an ideal introduction to the Gossip's fiery music, but it is a great testament to why fans are so devoted to the band.

Paste Magazine

Recorded in July of last year, Live in Liverpool is an unpolished document of The Gossip’s raw power.

Pitchfork

It highlights their strengths (that voice, those beats, that authentic giving-it-their-all vibe) and hides their weaknesses (lack of songwriting breadth and dynamic diversity) making it sound like there's no place more fun than a Gossip concert, and no better host than Beth Ditto.

New Musical Express

The hardcore will find ‘Live In Liverpool’ too light while new converts would be better off delving into the treasure trove of old albums.

Mojo

A stopgap while The Gossip work on new material, this album is nonetheless worth the price of a hand-stamp. [May 2008, p.102]

Q Magazine

This live effort confirms what many suspected of Ditto all along: she makes for a terrifically ballsy rock star. [May 2008, p.134]

Spin

Gossip lack the kind of anthems that demand a live document. [May 2008, p.100]

Uncut

Reduced to aural bones, Gossip's live show in Liverpool last year still rocks, but in a diminished way. [May 2008, p.100]
