Critical reception

Live on Ten Legs earned generally positive reviews. "Inevitably, it's the old favourites that elicit the biggest cheers and carry greatest power…" wrote Paul Elliott in Classic Rock. "But this is an album full of great songs and great performances, confirming Vedder as one of the finest singers of his generation, and Pearl Jam as one of the truly iconic rock 'n' roll bands."^[3]

The album has been described as "well-produced", but at the same time lacking a real "live feel": the album has been described as having a very studio-like sound.^[9]
