Live from the Kitchen garnered mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 59, based on 5 reviews.[15]

AllMusic's David Jeffries called it "a cocaine-talking, fishscale-dreaming beast of an album with no likeable characters and a bit of a schizophrenia problem. The latter issue is easily overlooked and excused thanks to Gotti's love of being reckless, while the former problem will be embraced by fans of T.I., Young Jeezy, and other lawless snowmen." He concluded that: "but the thrill of watching this hood star threaten to supernova is a real high, one that comes with no life-ruining side effects or any chance of Sosa's men storming your mansion."[16] Mark Lelinwalla of XXL wrote that: "Although Gotti gets lost on the shuffle on "Go Girl," which has him on one crowded track with Big K.R.I.T., Big Sean, Wale and Wiz Khalifa, overall, the album has a good balance of solo tracks and features, with the female-friendly "We Can Get It On" serving as a nice change-up to the hard hustling tone of the album. Now, get in the kitchen and listen. Gotti!"[20] Phillip Mlynar of HipHopDX called it "the most predictable rap album you could ever listen to." He concludes by writing that: "On the plus side? Mercifully, at least Live From The Kitchen is only 11 tracks long, and there are enough cameos and singles to fuel your party bus. That’s something, right?"[17] Matthew Cole of Slant Magazine felt that Gotti was a supporting player on his own album with a track listing that overuses the "Women Lie, Men Lie" formula to "showcase an expensive sound system, not a talented rapper." He concluded that: "As with so many of the tracks on Live from the Kitchen, the material isn't good, and Yo Gotti doesn't strain himself trying to save it."[19]

Live from the Kitchen debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, with 16,000 copies in its first week of sales in the United States.[21] By February 2012, the album sold 36,000 copies in the United States.[22]
