[[AllMusic]]'s employee Ned Raggett gave the album a two and a half star rating, noting that "''Live Undead'' isn't really necessary except for the hardest of hardcore fans in the end, especially in comparison to ''[[Decade of Aggression]]''," and saying that "Evil Has No Boundaries" was the best performance of the seven songs. Raggett also wrote that despite being an unnecessary release, "it does have its 'it could only be Slayer' moments — including Araya's almost casual way of rudely introducing 'Captor of Sin'."<ref name="allmusic"/>

The album was originally released in 1984 under [[Metal Blade Records]]. In both 1993 and 1994, it was re-released with the same catalog numbers. In 2006, it was again re-released as an eleven-track record. It included the ''[[Haunting the Chapel]]'' EP and the studio version of "Aggressive Perfector".<ref name="allmusic">Raggett, Ned.
