Barry Weber of AllMusic writes: "All too often, a live album is a cheaply made, rushed recording that only serves as a testament to a band's decline. AC/DC Live, however, shows what makes this band different from their peers - here they are still entirely capable of pulling off a great live show. This ranks among the best live metal albums of the '90s." Classic Rock wrote that "Live is a triumphant refutation to anyone who still claims 'DC died with Bon. Jonno [Brian Johnson] is in fine voice and good humour throughout, and the live setting gives Angus space to stretch out a bit."
All tracks are written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Brian Johnson, except where noted
