"Petty, der er uforlignelig på scenen sammen med The Heartbreakers, som i dén grad viser klassen på »The Live Anthology«. Ja, boksen er ganske enkelt en vidunderlig rejse igennem deres ærkeamerikanske lydlandskab - og obligatorisk på ethvert roadtrip i Guds eget land"

"Powerhouse versions of "Even the Losers" and "Here Comes My Girl" — stretching from as far back as 1980 — show off the band's muscular snap. Guitarist Mike Campbell chimes his way through "The Waiting," gives a Keith Richards twang to "Louisiana Rain," and with keyboardist Benmont Tench helps prop up weaker songs like "My Life/Your World." But it's the covers that make this four-disc collection interesting to more than Petty completists"

"It's hard not to wish that it was arranged chronologically, to be able to hear the raw energy give way to easy skill, but that's just nitpicking — any way you look at it, this Live Anthology offers an overdose of prime rock & roll"
