Pitchfork Media's Stephen Deusner gave the album a positive review stating, "Live at Phoenix Public House Melbourne may be [Kozelek]'s most substantial live album in ages. It draws heavily from Among the Leaves, and makes a worthy addendum to the studio recording because it places these songs in what sounds like their natural setting: a small club sparsely filled with adoring fans clapping politely even after Kozelek laments the lop-sided male:female ratio."[1]
