Critical reception

Record World (September 8, 1973): "The spectacular musical & sexual excitement generated by Ike & Tina explodes from a fabulous double -album recorded scorchingly live throughout Europe. Rough raunchy rockers include 'She Came In Through the Bathroom Window,' 'Stand By Me,' and 'Honky Tonk Woman.' Dynamite!"[4]

Billboard (September 8, 1973):

The special magic of the Ike and Tina Turner Show always seems to shine through best on their "live" outings, where crowd response can be heard and the team can make improvisations. Ike and Tina are a highly visual as well as musical act, and their impact is stronger on sets such as this. In this double set, Tina is as strong and lusty voiced as ever. The band is tight and Ike contributes strongly with his vocals and arrangements.[2]

Awards and nominations

The gatefold cover was illustrated by Mike Salisbury which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Album Package at the 16th Annual Grammy Awards.[5]

Reissues

Live! The World of Ike & Tina was digitally remastered and released on CD by BGO Records in 2018.[6]
