Critical reception

On AllMusic, Thom Jurek said, "It's a beautifully recorded, incendiary gig captured in the moment.... Live in London provides more evidence that Ingram is a force to be reckoned with: Not only can he play like the legends, but he's an original vocalist, a solid songwriter, and a disciplined bandleader."^[1]

In Guitar World, David Mead wrote, "That magic has now been captured live – and it's a joy to hear.... For sure, there are plenty of great blues-orientated artists around, but Christone – with his Chicago blues meets '70s funk meets gospel leanings – demonstrates he's got the goods to be a modern-day legend."^[2]

In Blues Blast Magazine, Steve Jones said, "[Ingram] is touted as one of the saviors of the blues and, given his prowess on guitar, singing and songwriting, the description is well deserved.... Alexander does some standout work, using two hands to supply piano and organ and flesh out a huge sound that supplements the guitar and vocals of this young phenomenon."^[3]

Blues Rock Review wrote, "Throughout the concert, Kingfish’s command over his instrument is awe-inspiring. He remains in the moment, at times raining down incendiary solos, other times picking poignant, blues-drenched licks, but always playing deeply from his heart."^[4]

Rock & Blues Muse said, "From start to finish, Live in London takes fans on a thrilling journey. Christone Kingfish Ingram has full control of his guitar and voice, and has mastered both in a way that puts him in a new category altogether. He’s become next level and has now outclassed many of the current blues and rock artists performing today."^[5]
