Critical reception

The album received positive reviews from critics. Dom Lawson of Classic Rock stated that "Living the Dream is as strong as anything the band have produced in two, maybe three decades." Martin Popoff of Goldmine said the album "finds the band putting aside any of their recent technological or stylistic nods to modernity in exercise of a defiance that leaves only pure and timeless Heep jubilance".[4]
