''Live Evil'' hit both the UK Top 30 and the US Top 40 Album charts. AllMusic states that "''Live Evil'' does benefit from a crystal clear, in-your-face sound, and by showcasing even amounts of both Ozzy and Dio material, effectively documents Black Sabbath's renascent tours of the early '80s. Ronnie certainly has the vocal chops, if not the same everyman charm, to handle the Osbourne classics, but his incessant banter between (and during!) songs sometimes verges on the unbearable."

In a contemporary review in ''[[Kerrang!]]'', Peter Makowski said the album "captures Sabs Mk 2 at their best. One of my top five live albums of all time. It's a perfectly balanced, well-produced accurate presentation of the group."<ref>{{cite magazine| magazine= [[Kerrang!]] | title=Kuts|author=Toots Daley |issue=33| date=13 January 1983|page=12}}</ref>
