Entertainment Weekly	D[4]

David Browne of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a D, calling it "one of the most ridiculous albums ever released".^[4] Browne compared the album to The Best of Marcel Marceau, an album which consisted of two sides of silence opened by brief applause. According to Browne, Extremely Live "affords you the chance to hear inane stage patter [...] and unaccompanied drumming, during which, one assumes, Ice and his posse are onstage dancing".^[4] Robert Christgau gave the album a dud rating.^[3] AllMusic reviewer Steve Huey wrote that the album is "not so much awful as instantly forgettable".^[2]
