Live by Request is a live CD released in 2003 by Kenny Rogers. It documents an installment of A&E Network's Live by Request series.
Ray Waddell of Billboard gave the album a positive review, saying that it was "a fitting overview of a sturdy artist and still vibrant career."[1] A review by Michael D. Clark of the Houston Chronicle was less positive, praising the song choices but criticizing the "decision not to omit most of the between-song TV chatter", ultimately rating the album a "C−".
