The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 3 stars and states, "Jarrett treats his brace of pop and jazz standards with unpredictable, often eloquently melodic and structural originality.... There is a considerable amount of Jarrett vocalizing, though; sometimes he sounds like a tortured animal."
In his 2002 Records to Die For, Stereophile's Lonnie Brownell remarked:
   Over the past 30 years, Keith Jarrett has released 46 albums as a leader on the ECM label. Of these, the best are the 12 recorded with his "Standards Trio," and of these, the best is Still Live. Jarrett and Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette flow from Richard Rodgers to Oscar Hammerstein to Harold Arlen to Keith Jarrett to spontaneous free interpretive variation to Charlie Parker and back again, until it no longer matters where Johnny Mercer leaves off and this trio begins, because it is all one tribal dance. On this night in 1986 in Munich's Philharmonic Hall, Jarrett broke through to The Light. After "When I Fall in Love," you wonder that he ever found it necessary to play the piano again.

## Accolades
