Review

Live is a predictable but enjoyable live set featuring 19 of Reba McEntire's biggest hits and best-known songs, plus a selection of covers ("Mama Tried," "San Antonio Rose," "Night Life," "Sweet Dreams," "Respect"). For fans, it's a fun but ultimately unnecessary set, since it offers no revelations and very little kinetic energy. ~ Thom Owens, Rovi

Reba Live is Reba McEntire's first and only live album to date. It features material primarily from her MCA recordings, including several covers ("Respect", "Jolene", "Mama Tried", "Night Life" and "Sweet Dreams"). The album had no singles promoted from it, but still sold respectably. It won the Favorite Country Album award at the American Music Awards.
